Roy woke up realizing he'd forgotten about the solar panels when he designed the awning, so he asked the man to make a couple of cuts, so the part of the awning over the solar panels can be folded back.
I walked over to the SSCA and bought a new burgee. Also found out they've got a new insurance plan in the works. They're also getting a worldwide health plan, so I'll look into that too.
Went to the shop that makes courtesy flags and bought the ones for Aruba, Bonaire, and British protectorates. The other ones we need will be ready tomorrow.
Roy spent most of the day straightening out the parachute and attaching a chain to it. It will be used as a sea anchor in heavy weather.
I did the laundry and phoned more boatyards. Most of them don't accept live-aboards. Came to the conclusion that Playboy is our best bet. They're reasonable and have everything we need. Best of all, they're right here in Fort Lauderdale. (Actually, they're in Dania, but that's like Campbell and San Jose.) We know where all the stores are around here, we can get anything we need, and the bus system is excellent. If we went to a yard in the boonies, we could have problems getting stuff.
I phoned about the new SSCA insurance. They're going to work up a quote for us.
The last two batches of the log were the first I ever sent out without first proofreading them. Now I'm finding zillions of typos that I'm having to correct for the master copy. My kids must think I've forgotten how to spell and punctuate! (If anyone wants a corrected copy, just let me know.)
