Day #38: Some things always break while underway. Fortunately it's usually minor and work-arounds are possible. This trip we lost two antennas. Our marine VHF's fiberglass whip literally blew away in a storm off Big Majors Cay. The ham 2M antenna's connector rusted off. Now that we're back in the land of spares it's time to start fixing things. Brother John drove over from Naples and helped get some things done. Today's picture is of Nellie's brand new 5/8 wave marine VHF antenna. In the Las Olas mooring field, Ft Lauderdale. 0nm today and 725nm down. DBH
