[Rhodes22-list] Le Menagerie Back Home (again)

[Jim White]

Howdy ya'll:
Menagerie arrived back home from it's hiding place about eighty miles 
inland where it had been since hurricane Emily. Yesterday I powerwashed the 
hull, and scrapped the few small barnacles that were scattered around off, 
inspected the bottom, topsides and all standing rigging.

Alas, a wire strand at the mast side of the headsail furling tube has 
broken, necessitating replacement. I plan on light sanding and bottom 
painting this afternoon, then tackling the headstay, hoping to surgically 
remove the bushings....if I have a problem though, thank goodness I now 
have a complete shop at my disposal thanks to another old fisherman friend 
of mine where I can fabricate the damn things. Hope to be sailing again by 
the weekend.

Cheers
