august 3 Ernesto????

As of now 7:15 am Friday morning we are still awaiting ERNESTO.  This has been a few days of waiting and preparing and watching and waiting.  

Has been quite a lesson in how other cruisers think



Our forward sail, bagged and ready to store



Kirk working on removing the main sail from the cars that hold it onto the track.  Was a quite a job as the hardware was stiff from the salt of the ocean.


New hatch cover design that was dismissed as no good.   Notice the brown on the cover.  That is Sahara desert dust.  Everything is covered with it.  Amazing that it travels over the ocean and lands here.  It is all over the boat and the rains do not wash it off.  



Good ole design   New covers in light color



Stripped down boat.  Notice second anchor on deck ready for deployment.  Third anchor in locker.  Also fancy rain and shade cover designed by Kirk.  It works really well.  We are able to keep the hatches open at night and rain does not come in the boat.
