I rigged my lazy jacks so that I can pull them forward to the mast, prior to
raising the main.

Sam: You do eat well… AND have a lot of knowledge that needs to be shared. When we met and started talking food, recipes and GARLIC, I knew that Alex had a jackpot. As for Gwen, she’s the best in the best care. What a kid. I’m looking forward to watching her grow up and meeting her again. Sam, email me direct through the website, http://www.SailMagicWind.com. I need your mailing address. I have some Garlic Goodies to get into your hands. You’ll be hooked on Garli Garni. It’s Pat’s best product and will make your breath stink. Got a love it… And it can’t hurt the smell of the galley too.

Take care and enjoy the journey…

hi bubby(garden), it’s sam.. we eat very healthy, more so then most.. lots of whole grains and beans and veggies supplemented with the occasional fish we catch- you should have seen the beautiful tuna we reeled in yesterday! i can honestly say that guinna eats better since we’ve cast off as her whole attitude has changed in regards to trying new things and savoring new flavors,she is quite at peace in the sea:) and as for liabations, we don’t partake at sea and there was a bit of consumption in the keys but one must take into consideration our reunion with an old friend and alex’s birthday (magnum now, as in 44) we are for sure dry compared to most sailors i know:) finally, we are setting up base camp(ie anchoring splendid) in the Chesapeake most likely close to annapolis, but we may carry on up to ny or mystic at some point during our stay.. i love you, tell pop the same

Capt Paul, not a big hole, I'll patch it with a piece of dacron and my hand awl. I really hate having to go dead into the wind every time I want to adjust the sails, I think the lazy jacks are on the way out.

I forgot to mention I caught a small tuna for lunch/dinner yesterday, it was sure nice to catch a fish for a change.

Also a big fiasco this morning. I always check the oil before I start the day. Well I topped off in No-name and forgot to put the cap back on. What a mess in the engine room, ARRRRGGGG! I couldn't find the cap either. I had to make a make-shift one. I have a big mess to clean up!

Anyway we are in route to Stuart on the ICW. Should be there tonight.

Cheers.
