Repairs
While anchored at Big Sand Cay we undertook repairs to the damage we sustained on route.
Barry made a stainless steel bracket and through-bolted it to the remaining part of the goose-neck on the boom with a nylon webbing strap as a safety.
We will seek a facility to weld the goose-neck properly along the way.
The boom-vang snap shackle was replaced and 2 lines were rigged (port and starboard) to use as a jybe preventer in conjunction with the vang.
