Return to Marathon, FL

Grace and I are back in Marathon. We arrived about 4am today. The new mainsail from Haarstick Sailmakers (http://www.haarsticksailmakers.com/) was waiting for us when we got here. It is now on the boat and partially installed. Tomorrow we have to install the battens and adjust the Dutchman System control lines. A big thanks has to go out to Doug, Tony and the guys at Haarstick's for making this sail on such short notice.

It was a wonderful day, all-in-all. Grace would have preferred I didn't get her up at 8:30am for breakfast, though. We accomplished all our goals for today and are ready to continue tomorrow. We were even rewarded with a beautiful sunset.
