The sailboat will be pulled out, mast unstepped and it will be sitting on "the hard" for at least a month. We'll be heading back to Iowa tomorrow late morning and will get our pickup truck and the boat trailer. We'll head for Boulder, CO to visit Susie's sisters for Thanksgiving and head back to Shalimar, FL with the boat trailer after Thanksgiving. Bob is sooooooo discouraged/angry/frustrated with the boating life right now, that he just wants to get away from it all for awhile. Retirement isn't suppose to be this stressful. So we will likely put the boat in a cheaper, dry dock storage place and then go and relax in southern Florida for a month or two. We might head over to Phoenix after Christmas or thereabouts.
I'll get a short video later tonight and a photo of the beautiful graceful jellyfish.

I love jellyfish.
Tomorrow we will see what the hole in the hull looks like on the outside of the boat.

So sorry to hear of your troubles and sooo glad it didn't happen on the way to the Bahamas.
Sorry to hear. I can't imagine anyone who can identify with you more that we can at the moment and we haven't left the dock yet. Take your break and stay the course. It will be worth it...so says someone to us.
