[quote=matt922]Demasted... ~8 miles out near the tip of east ship. Floated for an hour and a charter boat captain came and gave me our GPS coordinates to give to seatow. From what google maps tells me, we were right between horn and Eship, which i guess would explain the seemingly heavy boat traffic. Ended up waiting another hour or so and some awesome guy and his family pull up, and immediately ask us if we have a rope. 2 hours later we landed at O SEGREDO FROTA.
sidenote: Bill, we indeed saw the patch of (dead?) trees on East ship, seems like it has some pretty large sand dunes too? We were very close to this when we demasted.
between a broken 101" batten i JUST replaced(and broke again), tear in the sail, broke mast base(piece that rivets into mast), hardware that keeps my nacra foil on, and a new hiking stick its gonna hurt the wallet. OUCH!
How common is demasting.. is it one of those things that happens to nearly everyone, or just me?
Starting to think "JONAH" would be an appropriate name for the boat.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by matt922 on Jun 18, 2011 - 11:40 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
