| Who needs life lines? |
Of course, we have found a few more!
To prevent leaks and to guarantee support, Doug is re-bedding the stanchions.
At the same time - replacing our life lines with Spectra.
It is new technology - supposed to be stronger than steel. We shall see...

| Broken Gooseneck - not good |
In the process of removing our sails (5-year checkup), Doug found some problems with our Gooseneck.
The gooseneck weld was busted, plus connection to the boom was bent.

| Replacement parts - a Boat Buck! |
At least it is a good time to replace them.
Plus, new technology seems to have improved the design.
We shall see.
 |
| Hopefully Doug can resuscitate |
So far, Doug has tried replacing all the important parts, but no luck fixing it.
Hopefully, it is fixable. If not, that's 2 more Boat Bucks!

| Messing up the place |
It is amazing, but at least it all goes back together quickly!
 |
| Time to relax and enjoy the view! |
Thanks to Kathy and Debbie for sharing their beautiful picture of the Ko Olina lagoons - amazing!

Well, can't avoid "reality"! One really great thing is that Doug is working at West Marine! I know getting the boat fixed up must mean you are getting close to taking off again, which is exciting!
We were wondering where ya'll have been: Working? That doesn't sound right! Glad to see you're getting all that work done while the weather is nice. What? It's always that nice in Hawaii? ... I'm soooo jealous... :)
