Thanks Col, I hope to make a 4-day voyage next week, but with any kind of luck, I will be able to extend it even longer, sail to the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, about 250 miles, then swing out into the Atlantic and sail up the US East Coast to Delaware Bay, ascend Delaware Bay, pass through the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, then sail back to the marina. Fortunately, I have a new oxygen generator/concentrator that draws very little electrical current, which allows me to do these things with some degree of comfort. My biggest concern is that I no longer have the stability I had just a few years ago, probably from the lack of oxygen in my system. Consequently,I must wear a Personal Flotation Device at all times, and connect to a safety harness when I go forward to raise the main sail. The Jib sail is on a roller furling system, which allows me to deploy and remove it without going forward.

Keep those songs coming, Col, Terry and others,

Gary
