The Observer Single-handed Trans-Atlantic Race, organized by the Royal Western Yacht Club, is under way.
Continuing with our theme the week before last I want to look further at the results from our ABYC Boat Safety Check event last month in Annapolis. As mentioned in my last post on this event the number one item our inspectors found was faulty or non-existent ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI’s). Next on the list were issues related to over-current protection for both shore power and DC circuits on board. When I’m talking about over-current protection I’m referring to things like fuses …

Aaron Hawkins decided to spend his last morning in Rhode Island sailing, simply for the pleasure of sailing. He guided a J/24 past the breakwater to let the bow dip into the waves and allowed the spray to wash over the deck. In less than a day he’d leave for the British Virgin Islands to assume his position as the first mate on Ocean Star, Sea|Mester’s 88-foot sail-training schooner.
Had just finished spending a long time clearing up a major spillage of detergent powder when realized wind was up – we were bouncing around and heeling a lot.
The galley stove has come off its gimbal on one side.
I opened a nice bottle of bubbly and had some Brie and pate on crackers.
I am writing this singing along to music playing – getting into the equator crossing party mode already – expect to cross the line tonight.
Bad news of last night-dropped laptop and broke the screen-remote monitor also damaged.
