Jeff's story

Here's Jeff's take on the last week ....

Re. Our sailing trip, I'm reminded that this is much more a type A adventure challenge than a holiday. Just what we're looking for, I guess.

Got 2 days north, then one day back to get the plane. When we got back we had 2 long days north to protection from the fairly extreme weather coming. 2 very rough and crazy days!... Before it got worse! 

Now finally hanging out for a while, after moving to a less rolly anchorage early this morning. Last nite was nuts. Hard to stand up! We we're in a spot with a lot of current, with wind coming at a right angle to the current. So we stream with the current and every time it blows we roll. 

Now at anchor while fitting in part days on boat jobs. Getting to things that have intimidated me for several years. Like working with muriatic acid to clean out the sewage lines and valves. Salt water and urine produce a calcium deposit that will plug everything up!

Again, we're reflecting that this is much more a challenging adventure then a holiday. But it does get easier as we learn. We're starting to feel like old salts!
