[Rhodes22-list] any reason to not sail w/o vertical batten

[Mike Cheung]

Doyle must've paid overnight for the batten shipping.  It got here yesterday. 
Rigged the new genoa this morning so s/v Muireann is almost ready to go. 
Still need to troubleshoot the forward white light on the masthead, it
didn't light up.  Also, need to "un-winterize" the water system, check the
batteries, fill the fuel tank ...  But we're getting there.  May splash
tomorrow or mid-week.  Then we're off the the Chesapeake next Friday with
any luck for a few days cruising near Annapolis.  

Mike Cheung, s/v Muireann
