Well we've got things all cleaned up. The bow pulpit is now secure and realigned so that it doesn't interfere with the jib furler. Life lines have been readjusted to work as intended. The repaired whisker pole (mentioned in an earlier post has worked prefects with the blast reacher. While it would be nice to have a spinnaker up we have not come up with a safe way to do so - we've explored some crazy ideas but have rejected them all. So, we are resigned to our limited sail plan and will make our best possible time over the next, now less than 500 miles. We've still got fishing lines out but so far no luck. Three of us have now been hit by large flying fish - I'm pretty sure the fish are winning this battle.
Aloha,
Tracy and crew
