Old sails , boom gallows and bending on sails

[Ross]

I bent the sails on today and had a fun time. I discovered I had a twist in the luff of the mainsail as I was bending it on. So I dropped it and straightened everything out and started over. The wind co operated and nothing got broke and nobody got hurt. I didn't have a shackle key with me when I set the jib tack but I had a spike to tighten the head shackle. Slipped that back into my pocket and proceeded. Put the cover on the jib, locked the boat and felt the spike in my back pocket. Oh yes!!!! the tack shackle!!! Get a shackle key and go back and finish the tack. All done button things upand go home. Boy, I had a good time. ;D

Phil, My seventy year old eyes like the font size we post and edit with but the font size in the rest is too (expletive deleted) small.

Good timing

I've been working on that this afternoon and just posted a request for help on a tech site. Hopefully I'll have that solved later tonight.

It would be nice to not need my reading glasses.

Thank you Phil,

That is much better.
