Lexington - Captain Bob: not all beaches and parties



Coming out of Santa Marta we notice that one of the battens was sticking out of the sale. Batten is a rod that fits in a pocket in the sail to stiffen the sail. The piece of cloth holding the bat and then had formed a hole. Today Ann and I set out to repair this problem. We got out a sewing kit that we keep on the boat. And sold a piece of leather over the end of the batten to replace the part that was missing. I sewed webbing over the hole in the piece of cloth that held the batten in place. We were real proud of ourselves when we were through.
Below are pictures of Ann doing some of her sewing.
