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. L8R, y'all Skip What's the matter with the engine? And your jib problem, "when the end reached my hand, it was stripped." ?? -- Cheers, Bruce in Bangkok |
