Correct! And no, I don't. Besides the meat hooks - and these have plenty - the wire has chewed up the halyard sheaves.
Poor little thing...

Awarding Macapuno is above my pay grade but that should be it. It's cool that each Fife dragon was unique for the boat.

So that's what it is. From Skip's first photo, I thought it was a naked woman, feet forward, arms raised, mass of hair trailing behind.

m/v PACIFIC LOON
As best I recall, competitive Snipes had a halyard lock at the masthead to eliminate the compression force from the halyard. It was all about controlling mast bend. So, with your “update,” what’s up with that, or what?
The view, east to west, Wed. (12/7) at sunset from the Depot Hill Fossil Cliff was wondrous. The sun set and full moon rose simultaneously, with red window reflections from homes around Monterey Bay . In the absence of Venus, bright Mars was on stage, visible to the naked eye, becoming tangent to the moon and then going into eclipse .
Below, hundreds, if not thousands of birds gathered, making the calm Pacific look like a geyser plain of splashes. Mostly pelicans and cormorants, with terns thrown in for good measure. What a circus!
Thanked our lucky stars...

Anyone looking for a project, here's an available, full keel, '79, Cape Dory 28. My guess is they would pay you to take it away, hihi.
More seriously, if you wanted a strong, fast, ocean worthy, ready to go boat for Bay, Coastal, or SHTP, Synthia's Hawkfarm 28 EYRIE is for sale..

We've all lost our hats/caps overboard, especially on windy SF Bay. What boater lost a cap overboard in June, 2022, that has garnered more than 355,000 viewers on YouTube alone? A COB recovery was not attempted. Had you been fortunate to be sailing near the Bay Bridge and made the retrieval, you would have been well rewarded for its return.

When you're literally late for your own parade I suppose you cant go back for the hat... I doubt my reward for answering will equal what Klay Thompson might have been offering for the hat.

Dunno about that, Mr Hedgehog. Have you priced Macapuno lately?

That's not fair. All the foreigners will be awake while we will be sleeping. I'll just have to set my alarm for ... 4:30 am? I'd like a signed copy of that. However, if it's like other artwork, it may only become hugely valuable after you are ... you know ... glub glub glub...
Plus, once I get it I'm going to set to work with my colored pencils.

At a rough average, it should take about 90 days.
I'm sure George the Turtle and Robert the Bear would be honored to see their story in color.. Only 81,000 views left to go until you could win a copy of Sailing on Wildflower, a true story of a dream, written and illustrated in WILDFLOWER's cockpit and cabin while circumnavigating a Channel Island.
This is a little like fund raising for Public Radio, except it is free. All you have to do is join or re-join the Forum (it's easy and free with no obligations) and then figure out how to say something. Heck, in the last month, Captain Bob has rejoined, and Milly B has discovered our pages.
PS; this story is about Double-Handing a small boat, except George the Turtle has elephantine feet and Robert has bear claws. If they can do it, (sail a small boat), so can you. Join in now!
