When I talked to the guy at CD we talked about the latches, plastic parts, etc. The point about the weakness of the latches is well taken. But given I have a hard time finding crew to begin with, much less keeping someone long enough to trust to fly a chute with, I don't know whether it is worth the money at this point. If I ever want to fly a spinnaker (and who doesn't?) that makes sense. The other thing they recommended was the upgraded, heavy duty track instead of installing two pad eyes. Their reasoning was that with the spike, you risk putting a hole in the sail. I called CD yesterday, and they recommended the pole with the latch on both ends. It seems someone would have thought that through. I don't know if the replacement arm half of the pole remedies that, or if it is just an equal swap. I have a feeling that if we like it a bigger boat will be in our future.Д¬lick to expandI have seen that complaint on sites where the pole is sold. I hope we like it enough to keep doing these types of trips in the future.

On the 10th and 11th we sail back to Marathon where we take out and drive back to Georgia.ДЄ full week of fun on the water. This will get us close to the action while we have access to showers, water, laundry and electricity.

I have a slip at El Galeon on the 7th, 8th and 9th. We plan to snorkel Loes and Sombreros while sailing to Key West. I have rented a spot at Brier's self storage for the trailer/truck. We'll put in at a public ramp in Marathon, Florida on the 5th. I also reinforced some rusty spots on the trailer by welding patches on the uprights. The trailer got one new tire and four new valve stems. We also bought some blue water rated inflatable PFD's from West Marine. Now we can have 110 volts on board and charge our battery while docked. I installed a shore power plug and ran it to a 110 volt box and a permanently installed marine quality battery charger.

I have been spending my free time getting some more projects done on the boat. Lee and I brought Hoosier Daddy up from Panama City, FL a few weeks ago. Our Florida Keys trip is just around the corner.
