"Dragonfly" is a Beneteau 331 - hull #241. We purchased "Dragonfly" in March 2003. We sail out of Mark Twain Lake in NE Missouri. This blog is designed to share events, thoughts, improvements and experiences as we prepare to sail the world.

Will and Rob

Suz and Ellie went back to Cunningham, KS this weekend to celebrate her dad's birthday. They stopped by KC and spent the night with Amy, Sean, Finn and Anna. The took Finn with them on Friday. Anna, Amy and Sean went after work on Friday.

Andy and Ashlynn drove up from Austin, TX to join the celebration.

I had several projects and meetings on Friday, so I stayed behind and decided to sail on Saturday. I needed a crew, so I asked Rob to crew with me. Cindy was out of town, so Rob and Will signed on for the day.

From June 25
We had the sacrifice cloth on our Genoa come loose. We tried to repair it on Suz's home sewing machine, but it was not powerful enough to stitch through all the layers of sunbrella and sail.

Sandy volunteered to try to repair the sail with the sewing machine on their boat, Higher Porpoise. I brought the sail back to the lake on Friday night. Sandy pulled out her machine, settled down with the sail around her and within about 10 minutes.

Tom helped my get it back on Dragonfly! Thanks Sandy.



We celebrated by driving to Hannibal and having dinner at Mellisa's new Rustic Oak Restaurant on the Mississippi River.
