Yes! Finished cleaning the smooth fiberglass! Next task will be inspired by the Karate Kid - wax on, wax off (those of you who shouted out: "Catch a fly with chopsticks!" see me after class).
Phil made some additional purchases today. On the advice of one of the salesmen at West Marine in Braintree, he bought Sta-Set polyester lines for the new spinnaker and storm sail. Size? We'll let you know when we retrieve the receipt from the boat. He bought some blocks to attach at the stern of the boat for the spinnaker and some flag hooks and a new flag halyard as he noticed yesterday that one had mysteriously disappeared. Yolande found some Kap Savers (?) to tether your cap to the back of your T-shirt to prevent it blowing off into the water. Ingenious, huh? Only if it works.
Note: Yolande will be spending this evening looking on Craig's List for a cat o'nine tails ready to flog anyone who leaves a scuff mark on the boat, unless it's herself.
