Nose bleed

Ernie's about to have a nose bleed :-) because we got so much done today.

Final cowl guard got to the welder today where two of it's legs were tack welded to the feet. One more leg to finesse and that can then be welded.

Spliced in the snap shackle for the staysail halyard. We've used a bowline for quite a few years now, carrying around the un-used shackle.

And the furler halyard has neen replaced with a loop spliced in for a shackle as well. Woo hoo!   
We have carried around that halyard for a few years so to have it installed is great. 

CDC and USDA have been contacted to find out if there's new regulations for importing a feline back to the US if the pet has been out for more than 30 days. There's apparently new reg's for dogs so it seemed worth a check for our cat Minnie.

Shroud base butyl tape has been scraped away and replaced with new material. Holes are now plugged against water ingress.

Maybe tomorrow is a sewing day and more finessing the cowl guard day. Maybe.
