What windlass was I talking about earlier again? All I see is a stump with moss growing in it from former water intrusion, and a dead angle grinder battery that was full 20 minutes ago... #theboatyard

let's see how you feel tomorrow, we could do more chill stuff, like check the anchor line length, and adjust the roller furler.

well, unless you'd rather babysit my trip up the mast tomorrow. I guess I can do both. I'll bathe in sunscreen tomorrow morning before moving the boat...

how's the rope/chain connection?
in reply to R E K

@rek seems acceptable? Not that I know anything about anything in this regard. But it doesn't seem overly frayed, and the chain has mostly average levels of corrosion it seems?
in reply to tired blip

@rek Can I see what the chain-link here looks like inside the rope? We'll look at it in person tomorrow
