Only 5 days???

   We have made a choice for safety. one that will make us leave a bit early, but will make sure we are safe.
On friday, we will see a rigger. They will be doing a full inspection on our standing rigging. What is standing rigging? Well if you know engines like i do, then i will give this analogy. If the sails are the pistons, the mast the block, the rigging are the bolts, that hold everything together.

   I have done a bit of inspecting myself, but i cannot see everything. A rigger, has done this before, many times. So they will send a man up on a crane, to inspect the top, while someone else inspects below, all for $100 an hour, GASP!!!!! He estimates, it will take 3 hours. So $300 to inspect something our life depends on? yeah, i will accept that.

   On other fronts i have replaced the cables for the steering, installed the GPS, moved the dogs to the boat, cut myself 12 times, and found a small engine oil leak. yeah, i cant wait to have time, and a good internet connection, to post photos. Sorry if this update is a bit dry and lacking, but its getting too close, not to post anything.


WE shall not be DOCK LOVERS, for long.
