Steve and Arlene were busy on the off-weekend again. There is still prep work to do for Block, so any off-weekend is a good opportunity to catch up. last weekend, they:- replaced bearings in genoa cars; McLubed all other cars (including spin pole hoist)
- replaced battery charger and cabling to batteries
- Replaced house and engine start batteries
- checked engine and fuel system -- will have mechanic go over it prior to Block
- inspected fuel and water tanks
- AB washed and dried the kite Big Red; returned to boat
It will be nice to have new batteries for the delivery and it certainly helps for racing where we hope to get a full day of instrument use out of them (as well as keep the after-race beverages ice cold).
McLube is our friend - More McLube. Maybe we should McLube the people on the rail. They have SailKote and HullKote, they should have CrewKote. It would make tacking more exciting! (like we need more excitement). Big Jim says he's a fan of "lube", but I'm not sure he's talking about sailing.
