ASW - Lay Day

A maintenance day here. A trip up the mast to check fittings. The backstay released so could put new tape on the top block that had come off to keep split pin from causing damage. The forestay had 4 screws, 2 at the bottom and 2 near the
top so on way down tied oneself so would come down it to replace screw near top with thread locker and taped over them. This afternoon the jib was re-attached post repair and furled.
The other 3 went walkabout and this afternoon had the afternoon at Pigeon Beach where various activities were put on. When I got down there they had left. Now I know they are in the yacht club and I will be there as soon as this blog posted Tomorrow looks windier than the 1st 3 days just hope we can stay in control and not have any disasters with the spinnakers. |
