Hey Francois, I made it to Florida, anchored out on mooring ball right now - they even supply WIFI, only $10 a night, great deal ! I've been down here since mid-Jan, just heading towards the Keys now. I ordered the boom kicker for my boat and installed down here on the water. It seems very well made, easy to remove to put up the poptop. Gets the topping lift out of the road, I was going to add a bungee to my topping lift to do the same thing. This is a better solution. Only downside I can see is when motoring without the main up the boom really bounces around when crossing a big wake (and there are lots of them down here). I use the main halyard as a topping lift if I have to motor any distance. The sailing is great down here it has been quite warm, usually in the 80's most afternoons. In this picture we are tacking down a narrow channel with big power boats on each side, Regards, Bob

my anchorage these days !
