Puerto Montt to Cape Town Preparations

[Sequitur]

We are still in Puerto Mont, and still preparing to continue south through Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, Falklands, South Georgia and on to Cape Town. I have just posted a new blog entry describing the mundane particulars of Anticipating a Four-Month Trip through some of the planet's remoter regions.

Great read.

Did you figure out how to replace the forestay fitting yet or are you waiting until it arrives.

Thank you for the kind comment. Glad you enjoyed it.

On the forestay fitting: The FedEx package with the replacement kit arrived Thursday afternoon, and we are now waiting for a rigger to do the work. Our halyard sheaves are the rivet type, and require a 1/4" rivet gun to complete the job.
