Home Is Where the Heart Is

Well, four months later I have returned to my parents house in Kennett Square, PA. Most people know this as the Mushroom Capital of the World, but I know it as home. I'll be here for another few weeks before I drive back to Texas to start work June 23rd.

As promised here are some more photos from the rest of the trip. Also, I'll start uploading some GoPro videos and link them here when I can.

Going Home!

So to recap the last few weeks. After leaving Colon for Portobelo, all was well. But the day before I left for the San Blas islands I found water coming in the hull of Sundowner. Not much, maybe a gallon every one or two hours. However I needed to fix it. I used expanding foam and some nasty paste underwater to seal the crack then fiberglassed the hull from the inside. Seems to be holding up.

The short story is I came right to Isla Mujeres, and now am heading out Thursday for Texas where I can haul out and can have the cracked repaired while I go back to my parents for a few weeks. My dad will be joining me for this next leg which is very exciting. Sailing solo can get lonely, surprisingly.

This will probably be the last post from overseas, but once I get back I can upload all the cool videos I've been getting! Can't upload any photos either because my computer officially died and the ipad doesn't like Blogger. Look forward to a bunch next weekend when I'm back stateside!
