Well, we're still at the marina in Kemah, Friday, the day several things were to come together so we could leave ended up being the day the two businesses we were depending on were closed for Independence Day. So no mainsail yet and no new air conditioning, though the air conditioner has arrived at the shop and is scheduled to be installed early next week. I don't have an update on the sail which is very frustrating since we're now two weeks past our due date.
Unfortunately we have a new issue to deal with, the diesel generator. It should be relatively easy to fix but like all things, we have to wait. In this case we're waiting for a mechanic to come out because it's more than I can do. I'm going to stop predicting when we're going to leave because it only seems to draw the ire of the gods.
Today being Independence Day we took the day off and went sailing. There was a pretty good wind so even with only a jib I got close to 7 knots at one point. I'm sure a racer could have trimmed the sail and gotten more but we're retired, remember. We're not supposed to be in a hurry.
It was a nice sail and we had fun, anchored at a small man made island in Galveston Bay and had lunch and a bit of a nap. We're back now and ready to enjoy the sunset.
Happy Birthday America!
Brian
