Sunday comes and goes

Imagine my surprise. Sunday evening and we are still in Halifax. Once again the weather did not cooperate for a timely departure. Looks like it will be Tuesday morning before we get away from 30 knot southerlies and things shift to the west and northwest.

In the meantime, the boat is looking good. The new Doyle Stackpack is installed and looks great (free plug for Nathan), the raft is installed, and the Autohelm is working. If you walk down the dock you will notice a definite list to starboard as the fuel tank is on that side along with the five jerrycans lashed to the deck.

Keep your fingers crossed that the next update will include photos from St. Georges.

One more time

It's almost a year to the day since the dismasting and the boat is right now in final preparations so I can try this crazy trip again. I have a new mast, new rigging, and lots of new cool stuff. The bottom is done, the fuel tank is full. After a few last minute preparations we leave next Sunday.

Stay tuned. I'll be posting updates and photos whenever I get access to an internet connections.

Oh yeah, just kidding about the preparations; the list of things to do is still huge and I am sure that some of it won't get done before we cast off the lines. I wake up regularly around three in the morning and try to figure out how to cram it all in. Screw it, none of that will matter once I get that first Dark and Stormy in St. Georges.
