Ha ha! Sean is letting me (Ron) tell the TRUE story by being the guest blogger today! First, everything Sean has told you already is a lie! No seriously, he is doing really well today. We officially declared today to be Sean's spa day. That means he's not allowed to fix anything. We couldn't stop him from fixing a block on the whisker pole, but otherwise he didn't do much, which is GREAT for us :-).

It's rough! But Ron hasn't got sick yet. Scott and I were more sick than Ron last night because he wore a patch. We haven't really eaten yet. Everyone's in pretty good spirits though. (View Post...)

We're motoring today. The genoa had an overload that needed to be dealt with this morning and then a block broke. Ron, and Scott fixed the block while I fixed the roller furling. The engine is still giving us some small fits but we're babying it along. There is no wind today and we're in calm seas. The generator was fixed yesterday after a lengthy operation on the carb. We've seen a small bit of plastic on the water today and believe we're at the edge of the gyre (No ghost ships yet). We did see a ship on radar last night, but it soon disappeared. (View Post...)
