sprung

We came home to Virginia and found, along with the cold weather, a voice message from the trailer shop telling me the leaf springs for Spartina's trailer had arrived.  It took about a month longer than expected, but the wait saved me the expensive shipping costs for the weighty springs.  I will get them in place this weekend.

I was hoping for a February sail as we typically get a few nice days in a row late in the month.  But I am hearing talk now of possibly another polar vortex.  Regardless of the weather, Spartina should be ready to both roll and sail in a matter of days.
