The WORST Kind of News (MJ Sailing - EP 69)
Plans have changed and we decide to stay in St. Barth's!
To get out of the extremely rolly and uncomfortable main harbor, we drop our mooring ball and take the 2 mile trip around the corner to Anse de Colombier. Here we figure we can begin to tackle a few of the boat projects which need to be done before our Atlantic crossing.
Matt discussing our 3-D sheeting set-up for the mainsail, and I talk a little bit about route options and why we've decided to stay put. On our list of chores is removing the traveler from our boat, but before it can be *all* the way completed, our grinder burns out.
Making a few trips in the dinghy all the way back to town, we find that we can not get a replacement grinder in St. Barth's.....and also learn of some tragic news back home.
With love from St. Barth's!
