Today I finally got the wind generator connected. This will help when we're miles from deisel fuel or just not wanting to listen to the constant thrum and smell the foul stink of the engine. Of course we will need wind.
    Dave is working on marking the last of the assignments and exams from his Astronomy and Oceanography classes, then it's out for a special dinner to celebrate the end of Dave's current teaching career.
    Some sad news today. I was reading in Lin and Larry Pardeys newsletter that they have had to sell their sailboat after many years of sailing and inspiring others to take up cruising.  It is the Pardeys that inspired Dave to give up his solid career and fulfill his dreams of cruising on Cygnus.  It is somewhat ironic that this month they have ended their sailing adventures and we have begun ours.
    Cheers! Pete.
