5 Oceans Race

I've been following the 5 Oceans race for the last few weeks. So far there has been one abandonment, and one dismasting in the Southern Ocean. If you are curious, and like an adventure (which a friend once quipped is when someone else has a bad time), check it out at: http://www.velux5oceans.com/

End of the Season

As of last week, Silence is put away for the season. We have run the "pink stuff" through all of her water systems.

Now it's time to start thinking about next season. We are planning to have new canvas made for the dodger and bimini. I've taken the teak treads off the ladder for refinishing, and I really need to make a centerboard insert for the dinghy, so that I don't have another near sinking... I've had enough bailing in the middle of the Bay!
