loren, welcome to the group and sorry to hear about the flying rigging. glad you made it home safely and for the wiser. can you elaborate about the trip and all that you encountered? i'd love to hear more about it as i've been wanting to make that same trip for a while now but getting a family of 4 processed and ready to move is harder than the sailing itself. thanks -rob
