SHIP'S LOG:

And the hits just keep on coming! I got a call from the Yard Boss today with a "good news/bad news" choice. Despite the best of efforts, he has been unable to find a fixed blade prop for ABISHAG. The good news is that there is a company that can make one but (bad news) it will take three (3) weeks to do it. It will cost $1,00 give or take with shipping, The second option is I can get(good news) a replacement Maxie Prop (a new version of what was on the boat) immediately but (bad news) it will cost about $3,000.

I called my Surveyor School instructor, Jerry Schmitt, and got him the specifics and he is going to try to find one through all his contacts. If he doesn't find one, I am going to have to choose between a three week delay and a $1,000 bill or an immediate delivery and a $3,000 bill. Some choice!

MASTER'S PERSONAL LOG:

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought sailing and cruising was supposed to be fun . . . at least some of the time. This journey certainly has been not what I expected. There isn't much I can do about it except to go with the flow. I am sure that God has reasons for all this but what they might be I am still not clear about. I know that it is all about me growing and I can appreciate that, but couldn't I do this say in Key west? I guess not or else I would be there and not here. I hate to say it but I am going to have to start looking around for winter quarters as I just may be wintering up here again this year. The thought of that doesn't make me happy, not at all.
