Thank goodness for insurance. The final bill for the lightning damage was about $8,000! Everthing works again and we have new updated equipment. The Rockland vendor, Ocean Pursuits, did a very professional job. The only thing remining for me to do is to install a new copper foil ground plane.
I bought the ground plane foil at Harrison Marine in Rockland. Their price was less than 1/3 of West Marine's price for the same stuff.
Yesterday we have a very nice sail from Rockland down to Boothbay. Maine continues to be very beautiful and the temperature, about 60F, is much nicer than down south.
We're in the Boothbay library today using their WiFi to apply for Social Security benefits for both me and Libby. Fortunately, some reasonalbe web applications take the edge off the irritation of dealing with the government.
