Definition: cruising- fixing things in exotic places

Probably a good thing the winds did not cooperate. We may have been in the Everglades if they did.

Today we discovered:
- our new wind instrument stopped working (west marine is going to replace it)

- our steering cable broke. Could have been to could be very serious to catastrophic. We are getting a new one shipped tomorrow. So it looks like we will not get to the glades for a few days yet.

- people continue to be very helpful.
Some local boaters showed us a good anchorage after they saw us hunting for one.
The local marina guy says it is OK to land our dinghy to get uber to get parts.
Good Ol Jack Jamieson let us fill our water tanks at his house.
Current an past Gemini owners keep coming by to give us tips.

Turns out we could tack one way but not the other.

About:	In our 60's, (now in our 70s) been married to each other since 1979, sailing boats since the late 1980s. Started on Lake Champlain with a MacGregor 22, and took it to Nova Scotia with us. The MacGregor was a little small for the Atlantic, so we got a "Snowbird", 30-foot steel hulled Junk rig. [...] More
Extra:	This blog is mostly to help us record the kind of things about weather, distance, routes, anchorages fuel & water levels and the other things that have been recorded in ships logs for hundreds of years. After helping to keep us on track, it may serve other "sailors" by providing recent insights [...] into anchorages, marinas, shops, tricky currents and other quirks of cruising. Also, some friends have asked for a way to keep track of our adventure so we will try to accommodate this also as best we can. However, this blog is not particularly intended to be entertaining or even interesting, but who knows! More
