Default Rudder changes

While we were away from the boat, our remaining fairing compound
disappeared. Nothing else, mind you, just that, including the West System
epoxy and hardener sitting right next to it. We assume (well, I do,
Lydia's not so sure) that because it was in the neighborhood of the trash
can, and there wasn't much left in them, so they didn't weigh very much,
like our epoxy cans did, that either Friday or Saturday, in our absence,
they got picked up for trash. Not much of a loss, other than the nuisance
of our no longer having any left for any smallish jobs we might like to
have it for, such as our new hole we just opened, after we put more
fiberglass in it, to fair it out...



Oops.

Turns out not only the AdTech fairing compound took a walk, so did our 1/4"
chop and Cabosil buckets. Why they left the epoxy is beyond me...

So, I now believe they were filched, rather than accidentally trashed (it's
unlikely they'd have blown away in the recent stuff, either, as the chop is
too heavy/concentrated. The others could have - but they're ALL gone, so...

So, we didn't, in fact, fix the cone. I'll go buy more stuff for the epoxy
work first thing in the AM, and go from there.

GRRR.
