The main would not blanket the spinnaker unless it
was specifically being used to blanket the spinnaker during
a takedown.

as well not bother at all with the mizzen. And what's with the main up? If
the mizzen sail blankets the main then the main blankets the spinnaker.
Good lord tell them to strike the main. The spinnaker is all they need.

Why aren't you out there too?

Mike left Mexico a week ago today and from the email I recieved this
morning, Arabella is about 1100 miles out from Puerto Vallarta,
sailing along in the trades under spinnaker and main (wind too far aft
to use mizzen without blanketing the main), doing 7 knots plus towards
the Marquesas. Whoohoo...

It's never been my dream to do an ocean crossing but for Mike it has
been. Also, we had our car and dog in Mexico so I am driving back to
Oregon to drop them off with our friend who is taking care of the
house. For me the bonus is being able to spend time with my family on
the way. I'll fly down to Tahiti next month and continue on to New
Zeland with Mike.

Air dropping the side of beef in the ocean could cause a tsunami!

She's probably busy taking men's money right under their noses to fund her
lifestyle. How many men was she sleeping with before she got divorced a few
years ago? Is that why they live in their sailboat off the shore in Mexico?
I guess it's hard to prosecute her when they can't find her.

So far so good. He crossed the equator yesterday. Yes, I am missing
a great part of this adventure and damn! I'd love to be with him
right now!!! Fact is, I'm giving myself to my family and taking our
little dog and our old van up to Oregon right now.

I saw a skydiving bit on the TV the other day and it really got me
going. I love the feeling of flying down with a graceful landing.
Too bad it can't be done in the middle of the ocean. Never mind the
lift off from a boat in the middle of the ocean. I heard about that
once. Something about a cat in a pillowcase and the humans rummaging
for clothing the next day.....

So glad you are here Katy and give my best to Haggy. I'm on the road
tomorrow and will try to check in before I fly out to meet me hubbin'
in Tahiti.

My daughter is going to Bora Bora later this year as an end of high
school gift from us, a wind down after the most idiotic set of
examinations ever devised for high school students.
the dreaded Higher School Certificate....

I hope she and her friends will be properly supervised. Certainly you
haven't forgotten the Aruba incident so soon?
