Jump Delayed A Few Days

The Bad News:

Today is the day we were supposed to leave, but due to circumstances beyond our control, the Raymarine auto pilot that we just paid beaucoup bucks for isn't working.  So much for their quality control.  GRRRRR!  We are trying to find a solution to this problem, including a fly back to the states to get a quick repair, or uninstalling the @###! thing and re-installing our old auto pilot which was limping along but still working.

We are still waiting for our spinnaker to clear customs. 

The Good News:

Garyn arrived yesterday and is already making himself useful as a crew member.  The To do list is almost completed.  It's great to see him.  The weather and weather conditions are beautiful for sailing this week, including a full moon.  We still are going to try to leave later this week.


We will keep you posted.
