On the Wall
26 May 2012
Got to the mast thing today for discovery that new metal sheaves at masthead replacing old plastic ones which lasted 25 years were too large and frozen into position. Those riggers in Opua are right off the Christmas list. Next opportunity to install operative bits will be somewhere in Oz September or later. Reeved new smaller halyard anyway, which should help, as well as new flag halyard and cleaned connections at radar antenna. Recalcitrant fridge remains so. May, reluctantly, call Super Cool Monday for additional ministrations and so today moved onto quay for 240 volt power to administer serious therapy. Remain skeptical. Given two under-two screeching children (mother had another in the oven) and later full decibel hollering of parents on balcony overlooking location, have surmised warm beer is viable option. Looking into local consequences of justifiable homicide. Medical professional and "nice' Canadian, Jan, is onboard with this.
