Neal,

Do you see what I'm talking about . Near the Clew? Could it be a
Spinnaker Halyard? It sure looks like a line from the Gunnel going
vertical on the Lee Side? It could maybe a shadow but I don't think my
old eys are that bad yet (I hope)



I think you are seeing the port side preventer line. It goes from the boom, over the lifeline,
down to a block, along the deck and back to a cleat near the companionway.
