Got back from Santa Barbara without incident, did some cleaning up and resting up, and then a bit of celebrating for Carol's birthday.  After Carol returned to LA, I took care of a few small, nagging projects.  The most significant were cleaning the carburator for Honda generator and checking the antenna rotation for the non-op radar.  I purged the generator of gas, so it should be fine now, even after months of storage.  Everything looked fine physically in the radar antenna, so now I'll have to take the next diagnostic step:  bring the display in to have it tested.

It's amazing how much time it takes put things away, get things cleaned up and make sure everything is working before taking off!  Sometimes it feels like you're just spinning your wheels.  But I did manage to make some progress and even got in a nice sail.  Still some things to do, but I should be able to cast off by Sunday or Monday for a short shakedown.
