And if not, think how much fun it would be climbing aloft to your new yardarms. Biggest disadvantage in modern rigs IMHO, you can't swing mutineers & pirates from the yardarm. Swinging them from a carbon fiber spinnaker pole just ain't the same. DSK |

I had my hands full and couldn't get a pic. SBV |

Jim We will be kicking off to Ambergris Caye Belize later this mo if you would like to do it then. Not sure if it would be a fair race, as RedCloud has been gutted to carry cargo and is sitting high in the water, she gonna fly like a Cloud Jim, you won't have a chance. We will time our departure with a hopefully strong Northern front. We are flying down to Belize today to scout the harbor and roast some coffee. Here soon we will have a free coffee cupping event/press day here at the dock on the Taylor lake cut. Please come by and I'll give you a tour of the little cargo ship, and some great fresh roasted, hand sorted, sun dried, organic Caye coffee. The same coffee we will be importing via sail.
