While we've enjoyed our winter in Florida (vs. the brisk Midwest), the weather has been a bit unpredictable. High winds and unseasonably low temperatures have kept us from some activities. One of those activities is installing a lightning protector on the mast.
Fortunately, the winds cleared and Dave (with help from Jim) was able to hoist up the mast for the install. Timing is good. Last spring, during our northbound voyage, we ran into some frightening pop up storms with plenty of lightning and thunder. Hopefully the lightning protector will keep us safe from any stray bolts Mother Nature may throw in our direction.
