At least till 10 today

Also take a look at this sweet site as well www.riverearth.com another crazy around the world sailor who actually met Phil and Amy from World Voyagers on their respective travels.

Today we say goodbye to Oriental, sitting here in the Bean, shooting the sh$! with the locals, probably about 12 plus. It is amazing how this place bumps. Unfortunately we will miss the X-mas celebration the town offers this weekend, but the weather looks good for shooting Charleston so it is go time! Some frustrating times yesterday putting a fuel hose clamp on, but we did persevere. Trying to fit 2 hands into a pin sized hole with screwdriver whilst getting diesel and sludge all over you, awesome!!! A most successful stuffing box repacking though and preventative wire brushing/spay painting of the motor as well as installation of the proper size American Flag, (did you know the proper width of the flag is one inch for every foot of boat, ours is 36, so 2 short) made the day a productive one. Today we run, literally and physically, to the sailmaker at 9 to pick up our newly refurbished sails and genoa, then we will refill of our water tank, (we ran out last night),do some course plotting and go, go go.  Thanks for reading!
