Default NEWS FROM FLYING PIG...

Second-guessing the choice of routes -- is Flying Pig too tall for the
Okeechobee Waterway? There's a couple of 55-56 foot fixed bridges at Fort
Meyers, is that why they didn't take it? Seems to me that it would have been
the obvious choice for heading from St. Pete to the Bahamas. I'm assuming
that draft isn't a problem.

@news.bellatlantic.net:

FANTASTIC! Hope all the news is better than it sounded at first.



Lydia did report to me the hull "flexing" was causing the table to rise
and
fall in the waves....which can't be good news. Everything was "moving"
that should have been hard mounted to the hull. The stress cracks
probably
came from that. The hull took quite a hit laying on its side on the reef
all night, don't you think?

Nothing was said about sailing rigging damage.....
