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?

Yup, 100% right. I lost a log the same way via the straps. My fault, though the
yard bought me a new one strictly out of kindness. You should be there telling
them what's what.

Never a dull moment if you like a dull script and characters so two
dimensional, you'll think you're watching an A&E historical cartoon.
It's an awful film.

It'll come in really handy on the ski slopes, eh?

Has he read the Hornblower series?


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.

Books are always good, maybe a new cruising guide to warmer climes? Or how about a spiffy rigging knife? I need to have a dozen pocket tools scattered around the house and boat so I'll always have one handy. If I keep them in my pocket they end up going through the wash....
