We’ve arrived safe and sound in Miami! It was a very long drive even with the two of us taking turns. Tomorrow we launch, rig and hopefully go sailing. The fixed autopilot needs recalibrating, the rig tension needs checking and we’re going to try to do a run out to the sea buoy to scope out the route. Then I need to do some more work on the charts. Set and drift need to be calculated (!, and tuning in the SSB for some of the stations needs to be checked out. We’re in great shape and it’s awesome to have Nick here. Together we’re able to work through all of the jobs very effectively, rather than me trying to do it all myself! I’ll try to take some pictures tomorrow for you all.
Goodnight!
