Protests by Nomatia

When we came into Guaymas the protests began with the steering. We guess she knew the end goal was her on the dry dock. We were heading towards an island of solid rock and the jib back winded and the steering failed. We took the wheel off and attached the tiller. Which also was not cooperating with us. Jarvis (the auto pilot) was not in on Nomatias plan to sabotage, and steered us into the marina. However, Jarvis does not do tight corners. We came into the slip at a 45 degree angle too hot because the outboard ( who was part of Nomatias plan to stay in the water) decided reverse was not an option today. Two of the marina workers helped fend us off and got her secured in her slip. She was well behaved until today when we tried to remove the jib. She won't budge. Jammed at the top. What does that mean? A trip up the mast later today.

 Leaving Nomatia is not going to be easy anyway. This has been " home" for the past 4 years. We are very excited to see our families and friends, but we also understand the protests Nomatia is making. A boat is not just a home, she is also part of the family. She has a heart and soul, though they differ from ours, and right now we think she is afraid we are leaving her forever. Don't worry Nomatia. We could never truly abandon you.
