I would like to see some new pictures of your progress as well Amos. I suppose it will take some time before we raise the mast etc. /m Well.

Is there something I should look out for? I am glad to hear you will be back in the water. The photos afloat are inspiring and I need a new picture for my desk top.

Not a big deal, but since this is the preferred hoisting block for the bosuns chaír as well, it is difficult to fix. /m Hi Gene,

Thank you. Why are you looking for a new halyard block at the masthead, what was it about the old one that wasn’t working? Thank you.
