Flotsam & Jetsam

Or "stuff and nonsense." I'm slowly working thru my list of things to fix, revise and update...

I swapped out the jib sheet cause there was a fray from the line catching on the mast earlier. Probably not an issue, but I had the new line anyway. I changed the motor mount to get a better angle in the water. If that doesn't work on the next test, I'll buy a mount and install it.

I'm going to be changing the anchor light wiring. I want a lower profile connector for the wiring. I know what i want to pick up and even where it is.

I put lead weights in the top two ladder rungs also. We tested the ladder out and the 2nd rung is under water and floated. It won't float again.

Tomorrow morning before work, I'm going to adjust the stays and shrouds. I need to rake the mast forward a bit. Unfortunately, I can't test until a week from this Friday when I have off. Damn! I'm hoping the day will be calm enough that I can fine tune on the water. We'll see.
Next venture out, I'm going to try to take some movies using a laptop and webcam!
