[Rhodes22-list] Hardware arrived, no software

[Mary Lou Troy]

Jay, Mark & all
Our UPS hasn't arrived yet - we watch anxiously every time an  "UPS" truck 
pulls up out front. We did get the hardware & sheets. Like Jay reported, 
the padeye sent by Doyle was too short for our decks. Defender has longer 
legged ones from Wichard so we've ordered a longer one. We are going to 
mount the halyard restrainer about midway between the masthead and the 
steaming light - perhaps shaded a bit towards the steaming light.

Weather has really put a crimp in the boat chores although we have lots of 
coats of varnish on our replacement block of wood for the remote controls 
for the outboard and our new "kickplate" under the companionway hatch in 
the cockpit - both out of mahogany. The interior of the boat is all 
reassembled. New sealed battery is installed with new tiedowns. As soon as 
it warms up enough Fred's gonna rebed that fixed port (it's out and cleaned 
up) on the port side and I'm going to put a few coats of the Boat/US/Armada 
stuff on our strips of teak. Once we install the padeye for the UPS and the 
mast hardware we'll be good to go. Laucnh is planned for 4/25. It's been a 
long time coming.
