Work continues.
- Picked up the Genoa today. JC did a fabulous job of repairing it, but he said he’d never do it again.
- The base of the bimini support on the starboard rear came loose, or we just noticed it yesterday. We fixed it with new screws.
- Mechanic Kevin Mcleod came by today to finish fixing the motor. It is in great shape as he leaves and I hope it will get us home because it may be a big motor trip.
- Jeff secured the anchor, which had come undone in the storm, I believe.
- We redid the reefing lines and made sure they ran free and clear.
- The ropey things that guide your mainsail when taking it down; we adjusted those. The storm had wildly misaligned them. (lazy jacks)
- Zip ties made the MOM unit back to being safe and reliable. (Man Overboard Thing)
- Harken sent the manual for the Furling system. The game plan there is to get quotes from Masthead Rigging and South Shore Yachts to repair or replace the furler. It is unusable at this moment.
- We are planning on leaving on Tuesday at 7am. Motor through the Adolphus Reach and come out just after Trenton. Then pick the best time to cross the lake. Windy isn’t giving me the best answers or I’m not ready to listen. But I’m watching the wind carefully.
- Jeff continues to work tirelessly and it shows all over the boat.
The Genoa Sheets were damaged in the storm and will have to be replaced
