Sails are on


11-12-13 Sails are on! Got the broken bolt out of the furler and a new bottom plate installed.
Boat is almost ready (need to change the secondary fuel filter & raw water impeller; a 1 hour job that probably won't take more than 1/2 day). Most of the van and storage locker have been loaded on the boat. Still on the maybe list: Satellite Phone; Davits or mounting bars; solar panels. Still on the maybe not list: [see above.]
It's almost 5:00 pm. Off to join Ilona and other boat workers on the patio at the Indiantown Marina - enough work for today.
Either it is cooling off or I am finally adapting to the heat. Cold front coming in tonight; tomorrow will be in the 70s with low in the 60s. Possible rain. Gale warnings out in the Atlantic - everyone is staying put.
Should we drive 1 hr 45 minutes to Melbourne FL for the SSCA GAM this weekend? It's a big maybe, or a probably not.
