It's a tragedy in the US, but we're no where near having to carry a weapon and wear body armor in sweltering heat every day.
That is so true. We should all be grateful. My post was not in any way an affront to our fine, brave, men and women in uniform especially after having worn one, myself, many decades ago.

Being a mere midshipman in the bilges of this forum, I never dreamed I would see this side of Jack Daw.
Three cheers to the Captain's happiness!

One nice thing about Northern lake sailing... The water stays crisp and cool all Summer. Dropping the sails and drifting while floating on rafts on a dragline behind the boat is a real pleasure, especially if your float has a beer holder!

Given the happy nature of this thread, the glorious carbon sail, and the pretty lady... I'm not going to say anything about those teak hatch rails... cough, cough, ... or toe-rails.... Where is my coffee?
@CloudDiver : FIXED

A few hours with the sander and some Cetol......
