Hi All! Here's a quick rundown of the last 24 hours.
We got hit by a 12 mile squall last night. It didn't produce any wind but did contain a lot of rain. Of course it hit around 3:30 am and I wasn't motivated to do anything but get away from it. I started the engine and we quickly parted company.
Dad had a dream about fixing some guy's sunglasses. He had just the right screwdriver for the small set-screw. I'm not sure the significance of the dream, but I told him that it probably meant that he was going to die in a very painful way.
Tim saw some dolphins as he was relieving himself off of the back of the boat. The dolphins, probably from having to witness Tim reliving himself, quickly retreated and were never seen again.
Dad and I fixed the table today. Dad's really happy to have a table again. I'll wait until tonight to throw Tim into it.
We found the furlex roller furling guide and looked at it a lot harder today. I think that there's something jamming at the top, but can't figure out what. All the halyards have been eliminated as problems. I'm guessing there's a set screw that's protruding and getting caught against something. It'll have to wait until I can get up on the mast and take a look.
Tim made burritos with taco mix. They were very good - we're just hoping we don't get some sort of food poisoning.
We've had a slow day, but we've been able to recoup some. We have about 275 miles to our destination.
I switched to my iPod today and have been much happier with the music selections.
Okay, that's all I've got.
We miss everyone and really appreciate those emails. Mom! Dad really likes to hear about the cats.
