Just When We Think Our Project List is Shrinking

We had expected to write an update on our relaxing (but very sad, RIP
John) week bobbing in the Rock Islands in a little nook called "Baby
Shark" but "disaster" got in the way. A few hours after motoring slowly
back to our mooring at the RBYC on a calm morning, we returned from a
supply trip by bicycle to town to find our backstay on the deck. On its
way down it gouged the new LP paint on the hard dodger but thankfully
missed all of the solar panels.

This failed tang was about 10 months old. We are oh so very thankful
this did not happen when we were 1000 nm at sea. Our priorities for
Carina have now shifted; our aft chainplates were made in the same shop...
