Hello everyone. It's time to go sailing here in Fort Myers Beach. The weather is great and we are having a wonderful time on the water.
Alex and I are busy keeping Panacea in good shape. Varnishing, cleaning, fixing, maintaining, sailing and planning. It's a busy season.
Speaking of fixing, the cost of keeping Panacea it tip top shape is pretty amazing to me. I'm doing everything I can do, but it seems like we knock out one project and add 2 more to the list. I'm so thankful it's a labor of love.
I'm hooking up with Ocean Rigging, here in Fort Myers Beach, to get a project started. These guys are the best around and I'm not sure what I'd do with Richard and Chris. But Panacea is in need of some new roller furling. The Genoa is the first one. It's the biggest.
I have old, very old furling gear. It's the type with the rod and no stay. So I have to have a stay put on and with the new wire is new hardware. Then the furling unit. Whew! I'll shoot photos and keep you posted on that.
Then the main. I have the same "old" system on the main. It's outside furling and needs the same upgrade. So that one will be next.
I do fly a stay sail and it's a hank on and I'd love to have that with a furling system too.
All that and Richard says I have to have the luff of the sail re-rigged for the new furling systems at $5.00 a foot. Now that's a double bummer. But when there done, it will be really nice.
I'm looking forward to it.
So I hear it's snowing up north. This is a good time to check that calendar on the front page of the website, and pick your dates.
I'm here and we are ready for a bumper season. We love what we do. Let us show you.
In any case, just give me a call and we'll discuss your sailing adventure and get you on the books.
Remember: Coming Soon! - Half Day Adventures, Sunset Celebration Sails & Full Moon Voyages. Call now for information.
I'll see you on the dock...
