Lashing & Scraping!

Lashing down the dinghy on deck is part of our normal pre-passage prep; but scraping off barnacles all over the hull, thank heavens, is a first! Happily we have Barnacle Bro Jim aboard and one of his post-grad degrees was in Nautical Scraping!

Larking About is ready for passage, so this afternoon we will follow our tradition and relax and have a snorkel on the magnificent reef at the north end of Luis Pena, which also happens to be downwind, so we will be able to check out our sails before passage. All being well, we intend to set sail tomorrow morning for a 900 nm sail to St. George's, Bermuda.

Best to all our Blog readers,
Nancy, John and Bro Jim
