Mike, from Milwaukee, and Richard, a Kiwi, appeared in the launch at 9:30 and the high flying furling gear top swivel was at the base of the foil ten minutes later. I can not be more pleased, relieved and grateful. I thanked them in person, as well as paying them twice the token fee they asked. I thank them again.
For the first time since reaching Colon almost a month ago, I am free. My life and GANNET are again in my control.
Unless there is an unexpected lull today, I will bend on the jib early tomorrow morning.
The now captive swivel can be seen above with the Bridge of the Americas in the background.
