And so while waiting for the new mainsail the work continues to prepare for the departure from Trinidad, barnacles removed from propeller, hull scrubbed, steering overhauled, automatic pilot repaired, another salt water ingress traced and repaired, and the best Christmas present I received was Chris emerging from the aft hatch at 6 pm Christmas Eve with all works finished!  a cause for celebration!  We had a lovely quiet Christmas just the two of us, joined friends at Chez Martin, for dinner then dancing at TTSA until early morning.   The following morning the AGM of the Ocean Cruising Club/Seven Seas Sailing Association hosted by Jesse James begins 2015.
