Food & Drink - Peanut Rum...YUM

We discovered the Peanut Butter Cup Martini at Cargo's Portside Grill in Brunswick GA. A key ingredient is peanut rum from St Lucia. It isn't easy but Cap10 Tom tracked some down from a NY online distributor and purchased two bottles. One of which is almost gone as we experiment making various yummy desert drinks in preparation for the holidays.
In case you can't stop by for one during the holidays, here are the links you will need to make your own.

Honey Ryder Projects - Screens



Little things can make such a big difference. The addition of two little hinges now means that when it starts to rain in the middle of the night and I have to quickly close the hatch above our heads, it will no longer involve me getting bonked on the head by the screen, two failed attempts to reinstall it (after closing the hatch) and subsequent swearing because I can't get it back up in the middle of the night when I should be sleeping. Thank you Cap10 Tom for installing these.

Sailoft success



s/v Honey Ryder has a piece of Sunbrella that connects between the dodger and bimini. First it wouldn't go on because of a crushed zipper. Earl at KC Sailing helped me fix that. But still it wouldn't completely zip on. Hrrmph!
Finally I discovered that it wasn't cut evenly and one corner was just too small. It is a nicely made piece and I hated to totally trash it. So after spending the summer dragging it back and forth to the boat each time and much figuring and ciphering.....I successfully sewed a modification that now works like a charm.
