Christy and Perry Saving the World

Found the rivet gun last night so can go up the mast today. It’s fairly calm so after a bit of breakfast and loading up a tool kit, I go up the mast with Christy on the winch. The tool bag I buckle into the bosun’ seat and glad I took a bunch of extra…

Beautiful day in Grenada this one. Christy and I are a bit slow. One big task left is to go up the mast and replace the broken sheave box with the one I brought with us. Main requirement for that is the big 1/4″ rivet gun I bought in Canada and brought with us. Only…

Today is a bit of an acid test for my foot. I don’t tell Christy, but I am going to walk to Budget (half hour fairly hilly) and back. This will decide if I have to deal with the foot professionally. The walk is ok pain-wise. I buy two Harken beckets (on sale!) 2 soft…

At night I am very concerned about my foot, it feels exactly like it did when I broke it 18 months ago. I am late with this update so don’t remember what else happened.

We’ve decided to walk to church instead of the beery Walking Club so set off just before 8 am as it’s about an hour walk. Long ceremony, an hour of preamble – long session by Jillian herself, then a ton of singing and music. The band is great, the 5 singers awesome but for me…

Before Christy is up, but after I make myself a muddy coffee, I start working on the little switch in the forward head that controls the sink/shower drain. It’s always struck me as a…

We’re up early every day and today we get on the water early (after usual repump of the dinghy) to go to Island Water World to look for parts to connect the new pressure tank. Take the good ol’ Number 2 bus in, they have what we need and we buy a bunch of other…

Getting started on this again, I have been after Christy to upload pics but she has yet to do it. The camera on my phone is pretty much broken after getting run over by a truck on S. Waseosa Road a couple summers ago. That was after it fell out of my top tube bike…
