We are now home in Orangevale enjoying the hot and dry summer. Ruth is of to Scotland in mid October and back in early November. Present plans are for Marvin to fly back to Prickly Bay, Grenada in mid November in order to arrange for some repair work to be completed before re-launch. We have all new (expensive) sails being made by Turbulence Sails, part of the Doyle sail organization. We also hope to install an all new evaporator plate in the large fridge, and sort out the problems with the Northern Lights generator. It is indeed true that owning a boat is like standing in the cold water tearing up $100 bills. After splashdown early December we plan to head north in the Caribbean. Don't know yet where we will end up.
