Spring 26

 I replaced the main halyards with 100 ft of 9/16 StaSet which was a long time coming. 

I tightened the forestry about a turn before I discovered that I had not set the furler up correctly. There is a tube that holds the foil in place. I had not realized that it needed to be adjusted to not sit on the turnbuckle. I moved it up about 3/4 of an inch. I hope this makes furling easier. 

   I installed a new compass a Ritchie W72. 

   I serviced the three main thru hulls with Spartan grease and I serviced the two cabin top winches as well. 

   I changed the transmission fluid. The old came out pretty black which suggests it was good that I changed it. 

   I bought 90 feet of new anchor chain which was BBB 5/16 so to eliminate the clip in the middle of the old chain.
