If you guys were watching the spot and saw us tun around, here is why. Fasaga’s mast is 61′ tall and the Julia Tuttle bridge is only 56′ tall.We had to turn around and head back to Ft. Lauderdale where we are anchored in Lake Sylvia dancing at anchor in 30 knots on wind.
Fasaga has a in mast furling for the main and I haven’t been able to get the main out, ARG! I worked on it for a while today and managed to fix it (I think). There is too much wind to fully bring out the sail at anchor but I did get it started. The wind should abate on Tuesday, and we will make the last stretch to the keys, it has been a really long delivery and I really want to get back home. The up side is Sam and I have had the last 10 days to ourselves and it has been really nice. We are both missing Guin and she comes home today.
I’ve also managed to spend countless hours pouring over cruising guides and planning our trip south. Sam and I are both getting quite excited to do the Bahamas, T&C’s, DR, and beyond.
Whats up guys, my last log had 4 comments and Sam had 16? So thats how it going to be eah!
Sail far and live slowly.
