The World in Balance
23 January 2009 | Chub Cay Anchorage
January 23
Motor sailed until Northwest Channel Lt. then shut down obnoxious bilge thing last 2 1/2 hours to arrive Chub Cay in the dark.
Pleased to report that several minor problems have occurred. Despite your prejudice (don't try to deny it) against these little speed bumps on the path to perfection, this is a good thing. You Calvinists out there (no need to identify yourselves) should understand. If nothing goes wrong, one builds up an error potential. As with lightning, eventually the differential becomes so great that an explosion occurs to restore balance. This is a bad thing. Incidentally, those fuzzy mast-top dissipaters splatter molten metal all over your deck when struck. Non-sailors may ignore that last bit.
Sleep-in tomorrow to prepare for grueling cashectomy (expect future expoundation (not a real word)) at Customs. Early to bed, late to rise, way good, that's wise.
