Joanna & Randall,
Sure you know what I mean! An ole timer at a boat yard told me to make sure when the masts are down, that you turn the mast onto a different side periodicly, to prevent the mast from getting a bow or curve in it.
I promise I don't use the whip to hard on the captn, but the works gotta go on, you know.
I know we're in dire streights, beached like we are, but just remember "THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS"- whether you get away or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy messing about in boats.
messing about in boats, Kathy SHADOW

...comes slowly to some. For the life of me I could not imagine WHY, or for that matter HOW, you would turn your STEPPED mast seeing as how it is built to point in a particular direction, not to mention the absolute pain of having to shift all the hardware 1/4 around each time. Still laughing. But turning it while on horses, yes, I get that! Except the shive keeps falling out. Sheesh.

Ah, the whip. I hear it is still considered a positive motivating force, even by the likes of Dr. Phil, because when applied it makes positive contact and its results are largely positive in the eyes of the handler. Any complaints and no grog for a month!

Good luck w/that! :)
