I began re bedding deck penetration and I micrometer measured the chain plate holes and found no wear or elongation and deduce that there is little mileage on my new boat. However, I was in day dream mode and this conclusions supported my brains narrative of my new perfect sea worthy vessel completing a round the world race. There may be better indicators or litmus test of usage like an hour meter on the engine, but I do not have one. No small stress cracks anywhere either......I dont know, for an aethiest I'm beginning to think God wants me to have this boat.
