Oriental--what happened to the weather?

Ken has returned to Oriental to get the boat ready to head south.  Someone forgot to enlist the cooperation of Mother Nature.
Because the mainsail needed some repairs (remember Ken, the waves crashing over the bow, Burke?), the sails had been taken down and sent to the manufacturer for repair.  As Will and Ken attempted to install the sails this week, they had to abandon the effort because the winds were too strong to allow them to get the job completed.
