No Wind Today


My son Sean and I took the boat out this afternoon, but there was no wind at all. I believe we were going backwards at one time. It was a good thing the engine ran well. I had planed on fixing a gremlin with the temperature gauge but it went away on its own, I'm sure it will be back to haunt me soon enough. We installed a new main sheet double block on the boom. The old one was a little small for the 1/2" line and had a tendency to rub on the cheeks (Side plates of the pulley). Here is a picture of the used Lewmar 60mm racing block I found on eBay before we attached it to the boom.
