maintenance, surprised

Installing new bits of line and pieces of bungee cord that hold things - duffel bags, foul weather gear, boom tent, etc - in place on SPARTINA.  Finished repainting the cockpit a couple days ago.  Anti-fouling paint coming next. 


Also trying out a new camera system, an iPhone 17 Pro using the ProCamera app which has an easy interface for interval shooting.  I do hope to experiment with the camera (phone) set in remote spots on the upcoming trip.

Looking over my most recent winter sail in 2024, I was surprised to see that I completed the sail in 18 days.  And that included weather days in Hilton Head, Kilkenny and Doctor's Inlet.  There are a couple of places I have bypassed on earlier trips, so I might take a little more time and visit those places this year.
