After months of screwing around and dropping expensive parts in the

was a fiasco.

Congrats!

Actually, I think the cool weather helped. When I am on the dock in
the summer and it is 100 degrees and nearly 99% humidity and I am
staring up the mast toward the sun my ability to process problems gets
worse. In the cool weather, everything seems much easier. Also, I
ALWAYS do things much better when I am by myself. Having "help" makes
some things nearly impossible for me (yes, I know, it is a personality
flaw). Doing this during the week meant there was nobody on the dock
to volunteer to help so everything went well (weird, I know but true).
NOW, I can go sailing.
