Karmela's topping lift is replaced

Our topping lift had snapped on the way to St Croix so we waited for 4 days to get it fixed. Happily, Harris was able to get to the top of the mast and run a new line through the mast. Now our boom swings free again, rather than resting on the canvas cover of our cockpit. We are finally ready to head to Virgin Gorda to see Margie Stanzler and family if the weather will permit us to sail. It's very windy and choppy. We hope tomorrow will be better.
