Christmas on Agave

Avi is back on board, and we're having Christmas on Agave:


Besides that, we are getting ready for our next passage. 

Today we drove to Key West to go to the US Customs and Border Protection Officer to get Avi, Sayan, and Kehan's Small Vessel Registration System card (see post below for explanation).

We are also trying our new Single Side Band radio which will allow us to receive weather forecast faxes offshore. We have a free software that decodes the broadcasted faxes onto our laptops.  We'll get surface, wind, wave analyses several times a day. 

Our outboard engine is shutting itself down.  We got to service it. 

In the next few days, we'll repair the anchor light, try to repair the wind display instrument, change the engines oil, set up the liferaft on deck, pre-cook meals, etc...
