I have been very busy for the past days …and it looks like it will be like this for some time.I have problems with the rudder again. which gets harder to move the longer Guppy is lying still. I am afraid Guppy will have to be lifted out of the water… After sailing half the world she really needs and deserves a major overhaul! Guppy has kept on sailing steadily all the times I have been safely sleeping in the cabin or sitting in the cockpit reading… So, I brought the sails to a sailmaker, I wrestled with the rudder, I tried to find the best place to have Gup lifted out of the water and how to go about it, then make an appointment and inquire as to how much it would cost. I also worked on my book, started on a presentation and did a thousand other things aboard Guppy, plus we did some filming for the movie. The steering wheel has come down in priority on my to-do list. All this is going to be a blow to my finances. As much as I would like to go sailing I would not get very far with a boat that can’t be steered… So this problem has to be solved before, but there is a solution to everything… The people here are really very kind so happily I am not alone. The nice and warm reactions on my guestbook remind me of this, too. Thank you very much. And yeah, I will try to keep with log updates regularly.
