Finally got away from Long Beach Yacht Club and sailed to Avalon on Santa Catalina.Got the windlass motor back from an extremely expensive rebuild only to find that the gearbox had been fitted upside down! Everyone had gone home so we had to strip, rebuild and install under floodlights and at eleven pm we were finished and IT WORKED!!! I think I have had enough of America and will be happy to check out in San Diego on Monday and move on to Mexico.
