We are at Bert Jabin's Boat yard marina in Back Creek just off the northern part of Chesapeake Bay in where we are meeting lots of cruisers and or regular members of the marina. While we wait for the engine to arrive (Nov 16th) Guy has decided that this is a good time to re-do the rigging. We have rod now and he will be switching to wire with hi-mod swagless fittings. He has already done the back stay this week. He ordered all the supplies he needed from Madden yacht services. He will be doing one stay at a time as soon we get over this hurricane.
The owner of the business, is kind enough to let Guy use their equipment to cut the wires etc.
All the rigging should be done by the time the engine arrives and gets installed. We are still planning on continuing with our trip south late November...
