		<description><![CDATA[I (Jon) finished this job on May 7th . When starting to sail away from Lady Musgrave Island in heavy winds, I raised the main sail to the 2nd reef and began tightening on the 2nd reef clew line. I then tightened up the vang as the boom seemed unusually high. Somehow something that I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Other completely Random Shit I (Jon) finished these jobs variously between November and April. I replaced the o-rings on all the deck-fills. I painted the leading edge of the dodger where the paint was peeling. I replaced the lines that held the rigging for the whisker pole with beefier line. I added distilled water to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I (Jon) finished this job on Apr. 25th. An awful smell began emanating from the front of the boat. At first I thought it was the head sink, and broke things while ascertaining it wasn&#8217;t that. The smell remained, not constant, but it was definitely there. And soon it became clear that it was shit. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I (Jon) finished this job approximately April 20th. One day we pull into Bundaberg Marina after having motored extensively for the previous four days. The next day we go to leave because the Marina is $54 a night. Ridiculous. Unfortunately the engine wouldn&#8217;t start. We were in Bundaberg for a week while I tried to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Windlass handle I (Jon) finished these jobs variously on March 10th, Apr. 20th and Apr. 25th. Somewhere across the Pacific the handle used to crank up the anchor windlass broke about 3 inches from the bottom. Multiple welding shops here in Australia said they didn&#8217;t want to bother. Another wanted to charge me $75 just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I (Jon) finished this job on April 4th. Justin and I had grand designs to go scuba diving dozens and dozens of times. Syzygy already had two tanks that Matt purchased in Mexico for $? dollars each. (100?) Justin and I each purchased an additional one for $400 dollars each. Per usual, Australia is obscenely [...]]]></description>

While sailing along soon after Justin arrived, one of the pulley wheels on a jib sheet block completely exploded into four pieces. A entirely new block would have cost an obscene fortune here in Australia, but I was luckily able to buy just a pulley and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I (Jon) finished this job on April 2nd. The starboard side kitchen sink drain has to make two 90 degree bends in order to clear the cabinets it sits above and get to the through hull. Not a particularly good set-up, but not much can be done about it. Scum and grossness has built up [...]]]></description>

Also, I had fully broken off a part of one of the whisker pole mounts that had started to crack. Finally, the outboard mount had a bunch of grinder marks all across it from when we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I (Jon) finished these jobs variously on Mar. 9th. Forever ago as we were sailing to Tonga, the exhaust manifold sheared two of the four bolt studs that hold the manifold onto the engine. Part 1 of the story is here. Part 2 is here. Much frustration was derived from making a temporary fix. This [...]]]></description>
