We should be ashamed of ourselves, we have not posted a single message on the board of our own Association.
<br>
<br>I am also guilty
<br>
<br>Let's bring some action to this site!!!!<br><br>

Rafael, glad to hear that John is helping with your repairs and I was glad to see you in Norris cut after we notified the Coast Guard of your MIA status. I plan to go out this Saturday 7-7 and test my new (used) mast. Will I see you out there? I will bring some Mangoes.....I think we owe you! ....he he he<br><br>

Hi there !
<br>I wish I could go this Saturday, but my house is being painted and rather be here to see what these guys will do.
<br>John came home last Saturday and taught me how to use Marine Tex for the repairing of my daggerboards and rudders; next wend I will do the sanding part ....
<br>John also recommended me a fiberglass repair man that know these boats very well; his name is Danny Ortiz; he too was over my house last Saturday and repaired the broken hull.
<br>John brought me (approx.) 10 mangoes which I am really enjoying. He is a nice person, always willing to help. I hope my little ones did not scare him.
<br>I am happy to see that you have found a new mast; ....expensive experience yours.
<br>Talking about masts I have to seal mine as the boat went immediately turtle, so I guess the mast got flooded right after the capsize.
<br>I will try to fill it up with water to see were it leaks and at John's suggestion seal all the leaks with silicone.
<br>Please let me know how do you fare with the new mast.
<br>
<br>All the best
<br>
