We sure as heck left Dry tortugas today like we were going to, but there was something else in store. Andiamo decided to blow one of the mast’s inner shrouds (those are the cables that go from the mast down to the deck of the boat in order to secure the mast) on our way out.
So we had to turn around and head back to Garden Key again. We called our rigger in Miami, who suggested that we get the boat back to Key West to get new ones put in and not go to Mexico. So it looks like we’re going to go back to Key West yet again to get this done. Which I guess is ok, because that means I’ll be able to put in a new power panel and get the alternator exchanged for one that works. So at least we’re not going back just for a broken shroud.
Comforting. Yay.
