Return to Brunswick



Its wednessday we have been in Brunswick for 3 maybe 4 days, I've lost count must be the cold.  The north wind from the actic has reached Georgia . Tomorrow we start our journey to the Bahamas , Vince has bought a new hat it's furry more like the sort you buy in canada, it has ear flaps and furry peak.  It's going to be close to freezing in the morning and the wind chill will be somewhat bracing. Bought a bottle of sailor Jerry's today so there will be inner warmth.
 On the way south from Washington I discovered that the latest nexus phone can withstand about 10 seconds immersed in dunking donuts coffee and takes about 24 hours to dry out before it works again properly. It was Vince's brand new phone , I had to pull up at a light, a box of nuts fell from between the seats and knocked over the coffee and it filled one of those handy compartments that you can put a phone in. 
 The work on the boat all went pretty well to plan apart from hoisting the jib, it got stuck half up and half down. There was lots of thin cord in the mast (not really sure for what reason) and this got jamed solid around the pulleys at the foot of the mast, it took about two hours to extract it all and a trip up the mast by the intrepid skipper. Photo below of crap that came out of mast.

Skipper has a new hat!
