Well, wish I was out sailing today. Instead it’s another day at the office. Today’s forecast just to make me more jealous is, Crispy Clear 60 degrees with a slight breeze out of the west.

We just finished our first trip to Grand Cayman on Wednesday for a full re-rig of a 45′ catamaran. Currently, we are in Tortola at Nanny Cay spec’ing and measuring for some new masts. Despite all of the beauty, there is still lots of wreckage everywhere, mostly complete write offs. It seems rebuilding has been…
