Thanks

Any time you wanna run for something, you get my vote. C'pete.

What are you going to do with the big stick?

[commanderpete]

I've got big plans. BIG, BIG Plans. Same plans I had 2 or 3 years ago, but now I'm serious.

1) Replace standing rigging;

2) Replace spreader brackets. One of them is cracked. I think I broke it standing on the spreader brackets during one of my trips up the mast. (Learn from my mistakes people);

3) Rewire/replace broken steaming light;

4) Install masthead VHF antenna;

5) Install little masthead light for wind indicator;

6) Remove halyard cheekblocks at base of mast, one of which is bent and broken. Install new system to run lines down and across the deck and back to cockpit;

7) Maybe paint the mast;

Buy new hat

Wow. YOu're still #1 Pete. Was the stick a little springy on the ride home? lol
You must have a little farmer in ya.
Hey, about the steaming light, I need one. Mine just kinda fell apart. Hummm, wonder if i can get that light to work.......guess not! Where do smart shoppers go for something like that?
Merry Christmas all.  

[Tony G]

Hey, that's great!  If we can apply numbers 7 & 6 to the latter portion of number 2 you could save some of us a bit of time and money.

[commanderpete]

C'mon Willie, what do you need a steaming light for? We know you don't use no stinkin' engine.

Maybe I'll start a new thread on fixing navigation lights.

I still need some fashionable head gear, like my crew has.

[Tony G]

Ahh-in the days of faux finishes and furs, it's nice to see that some still cling to traditon and are not afraid to don the near extinct, 100% Samoan coyote hat.

P.S. Nice boat!

[commanderpete]

Grace is wet, but still no rig.

We are very sad.

She calls to me and says...

"You complete me"
