Jonas up the mast, and...

Besides socialising with "Christina" we do manage to get some boat repairs done. And we have almost daily visits to Jesse James at "Members' Only" to fix the details of the various Carneval events we're arranging for the six of us.

Jonas, the Swedish rigging man at Peake's, is up both Christina's mast and ours. We have just a minor thingy for him to replace. Major enough for us, it steers the genoa halyard. Jippee! Now we can roll in the foresail again.
And we hack-saw off a bolt that holds the bruce anchor. Along with hack-sawing 10m of chain into two 5m lengths. At the welding place at Tardieu Marina the bolt gets welded into a customized new bolt. While we check mail at "Ankh cyber caf'e" nearby. A good relatively fast i-net caf'e, the best we've found around here.
And we get a new zipper sewn in the sail cover with the Alpha Canvas people at Coral Cove, next marina along.

And, and, and,,
