Mark and I are retired and are living full time on our Gulfstar Custom 50 sailboat. If you are interested in just the boat re-furbishment, see posts Feb. 2009 and older.

Winds to 58 knots...
Winds were sustained at 58 knots (66 mph) for a while and both crew members were sea sick – though only I actually lost my non-existent breakfast…
Windshields rock...
and the rain came sideways…I was never so glad to have the wonderful windshields that I made (with a lot of supervision from Mark on the first one).
before the storm...
before the storm…I (Chris) take over watch at 4:00 AM and Mark goes below for a well deserved rest…but…the radar soon displayed a storm that there was no going around. It looked mean so I rolled up the jib and started the engine just in case and I was glad I did. The wind rose as did the seas…Mark got back up…
