[Rhodes22-list] wind indicator

[Mary Lou Troy]

We have a Davis Sparfly at the masthead. Used to have a Windex but we 
had too many of them break when birds tried to perch on it. The 
Sparfly doesn't seem to have that problem. We do like having a wind 
indicator at the masthead. It's helpful when the air is light or 
fluky and nice to have when anchoring.
