Unfortunately, not the Flying Pig, but us.

We're on the way to N. GA for various functions around our combined 8 kids
and 10 grandkids, during which time I might even be able to get on a ski
again (see my gallery for what I used to do before I started working on
boats).

However, just before we left, I contorted myself repeatedly in order to
fabricate/drill, then dry fit, and then install, a reinforcement to my dodgy
windlass base. I'll spare you the gory details and the puddles of sweat
left behind, but the pix of the exercise can be found in the anchor section
of the 2011 refit gallery by clicking the link below and following along
until you get to the windlass reinforcement section. I wish I'd taken the
end pics before we retrieved our anchors and chain, which had been laying on
the ground, and therefore spread bits of dirt and grass all over my new
work, but you'll get the idea :{))

We've not put the rudder up, yet, as we still have some remaining bits of
work on the skeg, but as my prior post on the rudder stock indicated, we
slew the pits dragon rather handily, in the end, and my dry fitting of the
rudder, as well, went very nicely.

The number of very satisfying ends to extremely frustrating and
difficult/fiddly issues has been piling up on us of late, giving us great
joy :{))
