My followers have noticed there have not been log entries for a week. I apologize for the radio silence. There has been some mitigating circumstances beyond my control. I want everyone know I am fine and am presently in Natal, Brazil. Aegir-Ran ran aground last Sunday. All indications are the boat does not have significant damage, but I have had to make arrangements for a recovery of my vessel, and this is taking some time due to the remote location. We now have a plan to free Aegir-Ran around February 17, the next spring tide. I expect her to be sailed to mainland Brazil to make repairs. Details of the grounding and the subsequent adventure will be posted after the boat is recovered. In the meantime, I want to voice my appreciation to the Brazilian Navy and REBIO for their assistance. They say there are three types of sailors … ones who have run aground, those who will run aground, and liars. I have now joined the “those who have” club.
