Well here it March already and I am still have not departed Rockport. But there have been some reasons that help to explain it. First of all It turned to cold to leave. I mean sailing in 30 degree weather is really not fun. I set my sail date to be sometime in the late February to early March. While waiting for this date to get here....I decided to mount my Amp Air 100 wind generator.

Now this was a job in it self as I had to have a very stable mast to mount it to. After much work and the help of Jon at "Cayton Aluminum Fabrication", we came up with a very sturdy mount. (See pictures in the Galler). Never realized how much it was going to run me. ALUMINUM and other item to build it are not cheap. Now All I have left to mount is the solar panel.

So why am I still here? I was eating a very good stake one night and I bit down on a sliver if t-Bone and cracked several teeth. Well it trned out to worst than I thought. Seems I shattered one and cracked four others. How I have very extensive dental work to get done...and DENTIST are not cheap. So now my date has changed to depart in late March early April.

So my very good friends that why I am still here....But I going to going very soon. I may put off some of this dental work till I get to Jacksonville.
