<p>See you in May -- I just found out I need to replace my 'pretty' oak netting beam -- thought it wasn't quite right. Plan to sail to the Hui-Wharram. Currently working on it here in Ft. myers.</p>

<p>FYI, Mon Tiki is in Islamoroda in the Floriday Keys, anchored not far from the Tangoroa Tucanu. </p>

<p>I'll be refitting in late February/early March, then headed back up to Montauk for the 2014 season.</p>

<p>I have be solo on Mon Tiki since Norfolk, which as been lonely, instructive, and worthwhile. In 1200 miles I can only think of three glaring missteps, and I got away with no harm to myself or the boat, and with lessons learned. </p>

<p>We will be holding the Spring Wharram Rendezvous (a Hui Wharram) May 16-17-18, 2014 in Islamorada, FL (Florida Keys) at the world famous Lorelei Cabana Bar. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A<b> “</b>Hui Wharram” or “Hui-o-waa-Kaulua-Wharram” (Hawaiian) is a group or gathering of Wharram boats but any type of boat is welcome. Come even if you don’t have a boat.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is no easier way to fulfill your sailing dreams – from sailing the trade winds or the local shores – than with a Wharram Sailing Catamaran. Wharrams range from 16’ to 63’ and are mostly home built of plywood. Stable, rugged, fast, FUN, comfortable, inexpensive to build, operate and repair! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Come, see and enjoy the boats. Just have fun. We talk about Wharrams and nearly any other boat. We tell sailing stories…some may even be true. We compare notes. We share pictures. We look at plans. We take pictures of each other’s boats and get some really good (and a few bad) ideas. We eat and drink and just have fun. Bring a boat if you have one and everyone is welcome … no boat needed! FREE! a perfect Keys event! Join us for a Dutch-treat dinner on Saturday night at the Lorelei…door prizes!</p>

<p>MON TIKI UPDATE:</p>
<p></p>
<p>Hello all. Mon Tiki and I are in McClellanville South Carolina. Some trip highlights:</p>
<p></p>
<p>I met Ron and his Tiki 38 Mouzzer in Rebel Marina, and then we crossed paths again near Myrtle Beach, and then we were right next to each other in Georgetown South Carolina and I met his wife Gail and we had a very nice dinner ashore.</p>

<p>Hello all. Mon Tiki and I are in McClellanville South Carolina. Some trip highlights:</p>
<p></p>
<p>I met Ron and his Tiki 38 Mouzzer in Rebel Marina, and then we crossed paths again near Myrtle Beach, and then we were right next to each other in Georgetown South Carolina and I met his wife Gail and we had a very nice dinner ashore.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Stayed a week in Southport NC where my family came to visit me. Lots of history and historical charm, and we got the foam cut for my two daughters' repective bunks. Even with the interior in a very raw state, the boat fit us very nicely (the girls love having their own private quarters) and I'm excited to get Mon Tiki fitted out for further family adventures!</p>
<p></p>
<p>There has been plenty of uncomfortable weather, but when the wind is behind, the sun is out and the sails are up it's quite lovely. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I'd really like to sail outside the next stretch, at least as far as Sapelo Sound (I gave friends in Valona) but before I need two things:</p>
<p></p>
<p>I need to get to the top of my masts to inspect the rigging, rehang one halyard pennant, retrieve another halyard I lost in the squall that ushered in this cold weather, change my anchor light, and generally inspect everything to make sure it's in good order. Can anyone recommend a yard in the Charleston area that has a crane or bucket or other equipment that will do the job?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Also, I don't want to sail offshore singlehanded, so if anyone reading this wants to jump on for a nice 24 hour downhill run, do get in touch!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lots of photos from the past few weeks at:</p>

<p>ITINERARY UPDATE:</p>
<p>I will be back aboard Mon Tiki in Norfolk on or about December 17 with the hope of heading towards Beaufort NC around the 19th or 20th, and heading southward from there, coastwise or in the ICW as weather allows. I would welcome crew during this period, for a day, or longer, as your schedule and enjoyment of my company allows. Nothing about this portion of the trip should be especially taxing.</p>

I would welcome crew during this period, for a day, or longer, as your schedule and enjoyment of my company allows. Nothing about this portion of the trip should be especially taxing.</p>
<p>My family will join me from about December 29 through Jan 4; and we hope Mon Tiki will be somewhere between St. Augustine and Port Canaveral FLA by the end of our time together.</p>
<p>The next week I will be moving the boat southward, hoping to make Miami by mid-Janurary. Again, I would welcome crew during this period, and weather willing the going should be easy. Let’s say Jan. 5th through the 15th, more or less.</p>
<p>A friend and collaborator will be aboard from about 1/15 -- 1/22. We'll make south for the Keys. After that if you wanted to come hang out, sail, snorkel and do some boat work, you’d be welcome.</p>

<p>Hello Russell!</p>
<p></p>
<p>I hope to be back down in Norfolk around 12/17 with an eye to making it to Beaufort NC around the 22. My family is going to join me on the boat from about 12/29-1/4. Then it'll be back to just me for a while.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I'd love company and it's safer too. Let me know when/where we might catch up!</p>

Hey, David,<br />
I'm in Atlanta with a schedule flexible enough to help out all along the way. Sailing multihulls since I was 10, including offshore passages. Sent you a friend request.

<p>Our Tiki 38, Mouzzer, is currently just below Annapolis. Our intent is to leave hear as soon as weather permits after 6 December and be in Norfolk at Rebel Marine three or four days later before carrying on down the ICW. Can't help you with crew, but could possibly buddy boat or meet up along the way if you liked. If you're interested, send me a reply and I'll send you an email address for us.</p>
