Skip Grundlock asked me to forward his latest cruise log because his

Good day from the captain and crew, Skippy and Myriam of Flying Swine -
my Morgan OutHouse 41. We just got back from a day on the Intracoastal
Waterway on our way back south. It wasn't a very good day, I'm afraid.

I know I'm going to regret this g

Nice parody. Aside from the brute force tool (I use something which
is directed, not swung), not too far off our early realities.

Fortunately, the frequency of our visits from Murphy has diminished,
and my electronics repairs have been bearing fruit with only small
pointed tools being employed.

The upper jaw on my spinnaker pole has yet to yield to the PBBlaster,
however, and the heat and minor impacts I've laid on it. Until I get
if freed, I can't take the slider off to the chandlery to attempt a
match for the now-gone nylon edge sliders missing.

We're off to provision and laundry, courtesy of one of the seeming
hundreds of people who have been following our ineptitude, with their
car made available while they work the show setup.

L8R, y'all...
