    Thanks to all for the great recommendations for Bahamas reading
    material. We now have quite a bit of reading to do.

    Gryphon's main engine is being re-assembled over the next week. After
    that we will be testing her out on short sails locally here in St.
    Augustine with some overnighters to Daytona and Amelia Island. We hope
    to set off for the Bahamas in early spring after all the new stuff is
    sorted out and working well.
