1. North of Rodriguez Key near Key Largo.

Holding not good - rocky


Really? The only time I've been there it was just fine with what
appeared to be sand...




Was that before or after you dragged up on that reef and had to be
rescued?

Boy, Wilbur, you sure don't pay much attention, or have a lousy memory.

We went on the reef in a storm, happily sailing along at 5.5 under triple
reef. Lydia's seasickness and a sick radar (now resolved, at long last -
see my upcoming log post) were the contributing factors (see my "I learned
about sailing" from that in the archives).

While we have dragged on occasion, despite the squall which came through as
we were coming back to the boat, that wasn't one of them.

I'm going to eat dinner and then relax after a day at both ends of the mast
installing the new (factory spec, DAMN Tropica Marine for not doing that
when they installed it, causing it not to work for these several years)
radar cable.
