It's raining today and we have a bit of a busy boat. The grounding of the SSB has been done and we are getting the proper power output although strange things happen when we transmit. The NMEA connection works and we have position information for both the VHF and the SSB.
Both the genoa and the staysail came down and the rig is being tuned by Paul from Oceansailing.ca and a boom brake is being added. Crappy day to do the work, but the boom brake is a safety element when I find myself single-handing the boat downwind. I managed to lose one of the furling guides for the inner stay overboard (that sickening sound of "splash" as the part hit the water never to be seen again).
The configuration of the boom brake will take shape once we have the new bale placed and the vang reconnected. Then we can mock it up.
