| We broke the highfield lever for the port mizzen backstay on the last sail of the season. Somehow. All welded up and back in service. |
 |
| In preparation for doing the port side cabin we have endeavored to nail down a couple of minor deck leaks, which I have never really gotten to before because it's Emma's cabin, and she has yet to learn how to complain properly. |
 |
| Found the source of the main leak, the caulking at the end of this plank was completely shot. |
 |
| Caulking curing. Sharon managed to step right in it. |
 |
| Termite damage in the mizzen not properly fixed in California. Epoxy flooded, then cut out the worst affected wood. |
 |
| Filling piece gluing in place. |
 |
| Sanding up. Will seal, but varnish when we strip the mizzen this summer. |
 |
| The furler is back together and I have fitted back in place. Woohoo - turns smoothly now. The jib is off getting some TLC at the sailmakers. |
I'm off to Europe and the USA for 3 weeks shortly, so not much will be happening, but when I get back it will be full-steam-ahead as we launch into the season. Yay!!!
