One step forward…

As Monte likes to say, every time we go to the boat to cross something off the todo list, we add 2 more things to the list.

On Monday we went to the marina to install 3 new halyards and new jib sheets on Nirvana. When we lowered the jib to change the halyard, I found a 2’ long tear along the edge of the sunbrella cover. So we rolled it up and brought it home.

No more over-sheeting the jib against the spreaders, please. It’s not the America’s Cup…

Yesterday I laid it out and mended it; should be good for a while. I ripped off the sunbrella cover, sandwiched the tear between 2 layers of new adhesive-backed 6 oz dacron, sewed it down several times, and then sewed the sunbrella back down.

One step forward…
