I've never been so confused in my life as when I woke up this morning! So many things to fix and clean. Engine works, sails work and mongo works, to Bermuda!

The mast made the dip ok somehow. Just a random giant wave with perfect timing. I was down below and lucky I didn't get hurt. Game plan come soon.
