We were having coffee in the salon before heading out for a weekend trip on Saturday morning when we heard the kind of twang that occurs when something hits one of the shrouds or stays. I poked my head out but didn't see any passing boats (we are on a mooring) or anything else that could have caused the sound. A while later as I was getting ready to sail off the mooring, I looked up at the windex and noticed the indicator tabs were off center. Closer inspection revealed that the entire thing was bent forward and off center such that the arrow was catching on the vhf antenna! What the heck? The only thing I can imagine is a bird must have flown into it. Our departure was subsequently delayed by an hour while I went up the mast to straighten things out!
