I love that...."Now that rainy season is over we're getting all the rain we missed during rainy season."
Go to sea?! I'm with you! Not having a boat is a problem. I sold mine this Summer and I still can't believe it sold! The US "economy", or what's left of it, provides a great opportunity to purchase a sailboat. Got an email from a yacht dealer in Annapolis who provided the price of several Dufour boats. Paraphrasing my reply it went something like this, "what nice boats! I'll give you 50% of the selling price". Truthfully, my fear was he'd say "ok".
Before a fix? Hmm. I'd be sweating when DR put me about 200 miles from land. But, from my understanding, sailors of old had a daily Rum ration. No doubt old sailing traditions must be kept. So once feeling "safe" after drinking "liquid courage" there wouldn't be much to worry about....sort of.
