Spoted another C-26
Posted: Sun Apr 03, 2011 1:35 pm
While traveling north on the ICW near Pineda I spoted a very clean white and blue C-26 anchored near shore. I still don't have a digital camera but you can tell it was well taken care of by how very very clean it is,
Does it belong to some one in the group?
Heres a little of how things are going with our crusing
Last week was interesting to say the least, Started when the main sail tore near the clew while sailing near St Lucie forceing us to come into the ICW and motor to Fort Pierce were we knew were a few marinas were hopeing to find what we needed to fix the main. The 1st mate ended up useing sail tape and stiching it which looked like it would hold well untill we could get to St. Augustine and Sailers Exchange where we might find a replacement. As we were sailing along at 5 to 6 knots at times I saw that the tape was comming undone but the stiching was holding well untill a #@*& motor cruiser speed past wakeing us causing the boom to slam to the other side ripping the foot completely across, so we dropped anchor near Indian town beach just before the start of 2 days of heavy storms ripped across central Florida. We were on the southern end were we had 70mph winds and up to 95 north of us. On Friday I reefed the sail and we are continuing on the wind was with us untill haulover canal and then we had to motor to our next stop in New Smyrna Beach. the winds were with us today and we made it to Datona. It could have just been painted but did have aqua blue trim(sail covers)
