what i sent to salty monkey —
i saw the front on wunderground and was wondering when it would catch us. it showed all the way to turtle bay as prefrontal and then stormy. i did a decent job of sailing out on the prefrontals, and when the bell fell we knew the ghost of jimmy was on me and my trip. we were saved from a mayhem– with a torn mizzen would have been a bad thing. david is good– he is a large help…no pun intended.

when we sailed thru a calm spot just before the storm hit this area, the ships bell jumped off its mount and crashed to the deck—-never did that before– omens were telling us go to beach for a minuet….. so we did.
