T-Plus Four

Well, in spite of our best efforts, here we sit in Kemah. With a boat comes many moving pieces of equipment and it is inevitable that one of those pieces will stop working, so we have found. Our generator does many wonderful things, charges batteries, runs the microwave, makes the blender work oh and provides heat and A/C. While this is not an absolute requirement we decided we liked having our Jenny along for the ride so we opted to delay our departure to order in a few parts to get here up and running again. Perhaps it is fate or dumb luck or just another example of how God loves the Irish; regardless, with the wait came the development of IDA, for which we now wait to subside before we depart, along with a working Jenny.
Had we left on schedule we would have had several beautiful days of weather and sailing, and right about now we would be somewheres along the coast of LA, MS, AL or FL hanging on for dear life while IDA peters out at 45mph+++.
The Jenny is working, our SSB is up and running, the sails are working just fine; we actually left the dock last weekend to spend a night on the water, and numerous smaller projects have been and are in the midst of being completed. Our latest ETD is Thurs the 12th, we'll see what comes next, stay tuned.
