A few days ago I posted a note that we had what we thought was an issue with a fray or some chafe on the leech of our new mainsail. I contacted Travis at Mack Sails and he asked that we send him a few pictures when we got the sail down to inspect it.
This afternoon, just before a Sundowner toast to Steve Blakely, we took the sail down. What a relief - it looked like a bunch of lint (probably individual threads from something had been stictched loosely into the leech seam. We were able to pull the material out without unstitching the sail and got it right back up inside the mast.
I sent a FALSE ALARM email to Mack Sails. This was quite a relief for us as we just did not want to have to deal with any sail related issues from out here - now we don't.......
We had good WiFi service today so we Skyped a few folks - Devin, who starts his cruising adventures tomorrow, John and Anne in England, and some family.
Lesley finished waxing the cockpit and we are getting ready for showers now.
Szechuan Beef, snow peas and steamed rice for dinner.
