fnkershner Posted June 16, 2013 Share #932 Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) Popeye - That cartoon reminds me of something I heard in the news today. Some lady in England found an unexploded bomb in her yard from WWII. Do you know what she did before she called the authorities? She washed in in the kitchen sink. She was quoted to say "It was quite dirty". LOL So when my admiral feels the need to clean something when there are other more important things to do. I ask her if she is washing the bomb. She gets mad but she gets the point.

augie Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share #936 Posted June 18, 2013 The topgallant yards have been sent aloft and the rigging completed (with the exception of the braces) Doesn't look like a whole lot but I'm very happy it's proceeding well in spite of summers' diversions. I'd never realized before just how many lines there really are. And, for the first time, I actually realize what they DO! And things are getting tight !!!! The t'gallant braces are next followed by raising the royal yards. All is on hold until I get my order of additional rigging line from ME. My screw ups and do-overs have finally come home to roost and I find myself line-less . That's ok......there are a few fish to be caught and I need to find the ladder prior to the next photo-op.
