Hey Alex,

I ordered a DVD for my sons birthday and was wondering how long it takes to get it?

Home sweet home can't wait for another post.

An interesting article on sailboat cruising in the Caribbean; the whole travel section is about that area.

Alex:

What was your experience going into Deer Key? Approach depth. Difficulty? Visibility? Etc. Haven't poked in there yet? Just curious.

We encountered a bridge problem ourselves last year when sailing to Alaska! We arrived in Juneau without a working alternator & needing a fuel fill up and discovered upon approaching the bridge that our mast was too tall to go under the bridge! Forcing us to turn around also. Unfortunately for us the fuel stations are on the other side of this bridge (crazy), which meant having to fuel up in jerry cans with the dingy for many, many trips! All part of the adventure right?!

Enjoy yourselves and safe travels!

Capt Paul,

Yup, never had a problem with my CDI. They are cheap but simple. I have a pro-furl on the jib now. I got the main fixed after pushing the excess sail into the track with a paint scraper. I'm hoping to be out in the early am, fuel, and go. I'd like to knock out the trip south in 3 days using the hawks channel, but it looks like another cold front comming in Tuesday night (winter weather).

Cheers.

Alex

Have no fears, many of us read and don’t write. I, for one, start each workday, with your log. Keep ’em coming. I’ve been following since the purchase of Namaste. The occassional update on the wanderings of that stout little vessel are appreciated. Steve

Sorry I couldn't be of more help when you called me about the sail. My 380 just went up and down like a regular boat. I'm checkin' with a buddy of mine tomorrow when I get back to FMB and see if I can shed some light your way. Also thanks for the confidence in the CDI furling system. I've never sailed with one before and I'll be calling and checking in when I get Trillium in my hands in the Bahamas. I was wondering how it would work out with 40k pounds of boat... I guess I'll see.

Sit tight and looks like Tuesday will be a better day for us all.

I just love the Explorer Chartbook on the Near Bahamas. I've been checking out the routes. What do you think of: Green Turtle to Hole in the Wall to Chub to South Ridding Rock to Alligator Reef to Marathon to FMB...

Never shot across that area before... But the Chartbook has great charts. Water looks skinny, but looks to be enough for Trillium's 5'8"... Any thoughts?
