Morrey Atkinson
Well, the repair is done as best we can do it. David and I re-set the shaft, and Ted ground the set screws down so they would re-seat properly. The shaft key is secured as best we can secure it, so we feel that it should hold for the length of time we'll need it. We should be able to motor into the harbor and to our berth. We have arranged with our dockmaster to have a RIB accompany us, in case the repair fails and we need help getting in. We are moving at a good clip, so tomorrow is still our likely landfall. We're sailing wing-on-wing, with new birds (fulmars and gannets) keeping us company. Lovely. We just saw a rainbow on the horizon. Cliche? Not at all. A very 'knackered' crew, though.

Thanks to Orla and Tadgh for their help, and a belated happy birthday to Bart.

Fair winds!
