latest update

Alyson and I spent Sunday attending to various items, loading new cockpit cushions, and unloading/throwing away items on board that we won't need.  We filled several 55 gallon drums with the stuff we threw away.  I also got a chance to inspect the dingy.  Even though it has several slow leaks, I feel confident I can get all of them patched.  We are quickly approaching our departure and all is progressing well.  We should have all repairs completed by the end of the week and be able to relaunch her by early next week.  The time table will mostly depend on tropical activity heading this way as to when we'll put her back in the water.

Nances,

It was great spending the evening with you Saturday night.

You better do something about that leaky dinghy. Afterall, it is your transportation to Foxy's and those all important Pain Killers.

Have fun! We look forward to hearing of your travels.

Frank (and Sarah)
