Mast back in boat, with new additions working around my "inventions'
that are not appreciated because they are outside normalcy. Ebb
insisting to Carol Hasse that a cutter bowsprit was desired.. now have
light weight Trogear V sprit extending 3' forward.. requiring at the
masthead a strange extension, by an unknown to me yacht-designer,
as a standin for the usual bail.. looks like a horn.. not my style!
and while I was informed "the mast was going in sometime this week"
wasn't informed that it went in the next day, without my being there.
The business with the mast is to get it ready for measuring for sails.
Covvid, wildfire smoke, closures and general malaise has taken to
the middle of September to happen. Now the just arrived Schaefer
1100 furler
gets rigged and I wonder if the old man will get to be invited to that
event..?? Says it's a 42lb addition to the pleasure of sailing, all the
long stuff came in a gigantic tube weighing 65lbs, I cldn't lift it!
My disenfranchisement from the Spaulding Boat Works guest docket
now seems de rigueur. (I think because I let the varnish go, really
needs help!) And equally I seem to have been disinvited from the
Alberg Fleet virtual Sunday zobreakfasts, socially defective, that's
another story I'll drop entirely, always om been a loner for various dna
psycho-pop demeanors. Do I mean tremors? Even tho I've yearned
these golden years for just easy comraderie, laffter and respect,
I've become a tired bad old grouch. !@#$%^&! (it's 4am..)
Photos to come. Which I hope Bill will post.

[Now the third week of Oct. Waiting on halyards. I have line,
nobody asks for it.. will be paying for line that will take a week to ship.
West Marine is 5 minutes down the street in Marin City. How can I
be involved in this charade??. This is professionalism on a stick..]
