How did your boatyard knock your knot log out of whack?

I can see them possibly damaging the anemometer at the masthead
when taking the mast down for storage but that is your fault for
not removing the sender prior to that operation.

As for the knot log it is YOUR responsibility to tell the lift
operator where to place the straps. Us real sailors even use
two-inch wide masking tape marked "STRAP" stuck to the
gunwale where the lifting straps are to be placed. This keeps
from damaging such things as knot logs, depth sounders or
thru-hulls.

You and your husband aren't very experienced sailors, are you?

Signet finally sent us the new parts to fix out knotlog and the anemometer/apparent wind gizmo that our former boatyard knocked out
of whack. We've been two years without them, so at least we'll be able to sail "techy" again this coming year (I missed the
apparent wind apparatus...). Bought Mr Sails some of the Patrick O'Brien books for Christmas since he really liked "Master and
Commandeer". Have to come up with a few other ideas though that don't cost a bazillion dollars. We've been sailing for so long
that we have all the usual stuff that sailor's have. I was thinking about getting him a 2hp engine for the dinghy, except he really
needs the rowing (and I don't mind rowing at all...) Would just be easier when having to row in to the yacht club against the wind
with 2 foot chop (really wet trip...) We're pretty far out in the field, which is fine because then we don't get the night noise
from landside.
