Wow, Kevin and I have spent more than an hour trying to start this blog! First my phone wouldn't connect to my computer; turned out to be a bad cable! Kevin had a spare, hallejuah! It's a miracle, Kevin doesn't even have a Samsung, but they use the same cable! That's a first for the techy geeks who make us buy different power cables for every different device. But I digress.
So we finally got a photo of Kai Kanani up on our new Google+ account, and we're learning as we go. So what's going on? Quino, our famous rigger, finally showed up today after promising for six weeks to install a new radar unit 40 feet up the mast, and all new running rigging. He promptly used a rope the size of a shoelace to lower the old radar unit to the deck...smash, it came crashing down from 40' sending chips of gelcoat and teak flying in various directions, barely missing the main hatch. He promised to pay for the repairs...we'll see. Tomorrow he's going to use a much bigger rope to raise the new Garmin 18HD radar dome up the mast, and with any luck we'll have radar. Kai Kanani's running rigging is now much more color coordinated, tomorrow we'll see that finished product as well. Maybe,only if Quino shows up again.
Dinghy repairs are proceeding...but we still have a leak in the forward tube. Hmmm, we're scratching our heads on that one.
With any luck we'll be heading East on Saturday or Sunday. Stay tuned!
Craig and Kevin
