We talked for a 1/2 hour about the voyage and this new rudder he wanted me to build (from an Idasailor)...he was very pleased with the boat. He said he would give me more details after taking care of some personal, family business in Africa. I am putting together a box of things he wants me to Airbourne Freight to Vanuatu later this year.
