We have so much to do before we can check the windlass installation off the list!
We sure have had our problems! Lofrans was no help with the gypsy we needed and the parts that were missing...the large wire to replace the smaller 'large wire' won't fit thru the windlass. Another bit of misinformation! Then the gypsy we had to wait for was cracked! Do I have one p.o'd captain on my hands! Ruh Roh!
It's not an armrest anymore, but it's still a paper weight for now! New holes to be drilled in the deck, the metal plate and the beautiful heavy wood that "BC" will rest on.
BC you say...yes, that's "Best Crew", not BB, I've been replaced! It doesn't eat, doesn't wine, doesn't bitch and after the initial investment doesn't cost a thing!
It's outta the box though!

| Vessel Name: | Altair |
| Vessel Make/Model: | Tartan 34' |
| Hailing Port: | Coconut Grove Sailing Club |
| Crew: | Dudley Clark and Becky Butler |
| About: | Dudley has owned this Tartan sloop and has been cruising on her since 1986. Becky joined the good sloop back in 2000 when we first started cruising together and he has been 'training' me ever since! I couldn't be happier! I've been sailing all my life, but cruising is a whole different fish! |
| Extra: | This is the most extended cruise we've braved on this wonderful, old boat of ours which is planned to be about 2 years! We left Miami in late February of 2008 and want to get below the hurricane belt by the end of July! Ok, so it's July, 2011...we're close, but not home yet! |
