    This is more of a Gearing Down, so that I may find my way to the starting line in, say, 2022. Packing books for storage prior to moving aboard. Clearly a cruiser's library, with some singlehanding and SSS books and at least one copy of "Sail Trim". Many are from the great annual SF public library sale at Fort Mason.
    Of note is "Party of One", which a former non-sailing co-worker and fellow introvert gave to me before I took off for an east coast + Bahamas cruise years ago (singlehanded, as if it needs to be said). Good reading for the SHTP'er having doubts 1000nm from land.

    With a huge dollop of Michael Jefferson (Mouton Noir) assistance and know-how, I just got the SSB and MMPT controller installed. Still a work in progress with trim to be reinstalled. That window above all the electronics and my battery bank is kinda freaking me out now. Solar panel going up later this week.

    Photo by Jay Bietz. Must be a professional and friend, because that's an awesome shot at the start of the 2016 race.

    And while they wait for you, your loved ones can go on a muddy hike. This is Kauai mud that never washes out of your favorite pink tshirt. Be prepared!

    Here's my SSB, solar MPPT controller, arch and solar panels. Working on the E-Rud next. I think that's the last of the biggies. I've even turned down work for June, which I can ill afford right now. It's really soon, isn't it? The next few months are going to fly by!
