Back in Action

"Benny's board" is done. I decided to put red bottom paint on it. Maybe the bottom will be frightened by it and stay away...

The board is in and the mast is ready to raise. Good thing we used two halyards as one 12 year old snatch block sheave disintegrated while the mast was being raised. Big load to get the 42.5 foot stick back in its proper position. the boat is now back in commission and ready to go. We plan on taking it to our mooring in Fish Creek this weekend.

Snatch Block!!! I thought the HALYARD would go!!! Let it be known that I asked how much that boat draws, JUST before finding out! but, really sorry I missed the raising... I had unexpected guest take me to dinner, and we got there at 7:10 to find an erect one!!! An inch is as good as a mile, but you GOTTA have that INCH!
