Not one of my logs, as there haven't been any since you saw #5, but just to

The refrigeration is $olved, the diesel can be, somewhat le$$ expen$ively,
and we just had a lovely sail down to Ft. Pierce, thence upstream to Vero
Beach, from St. Augustine. You can see all that for the next few days at
tinyurl.com/flyingpigspot.

However as I was reefing the genoa, it stuck. No evidence other than a
honking wind making it difficult of why it stuck, but in the course of
winching it, when the end reached my hand, it was stripped. The shell is
stacked up for 20+ feet of it, on the bow.

Dang. I hate buying perfectly good line.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night (I'll sleep very well after
being up 36 out of the last 48 hours, along with a strenuous (labor and
movement) 24 hour cruise.


Your engine is out and you sailed onto a can in Vero? That's some smart
sailing, Skip. I'm not understanding what the deal is with your genoa,
though. Your description isn't making sense in my brains.
