OTOH, as I age I often forget that I fixed/replaced/rebuilt/etc. a particular
piece of gear previously—often even forgetting how I fixed it before.
Thus most projects are ‘new’ to my aging brain!

I think I am going to use the sew-on cover again, the sock seems a little
involved. Last time I had a UV cover done it was $500 or so, inflation sucks. I
am going to ask around a few places. One thing that can bug you about an old
boat is fixing the same stuff over and over. I am after batteries again and
that isn’t going to be cheap either just like the last time or the one before
that or the one before that……………………………………………………….
To make it even worse, going to Saint Michael’s on Saturday the wind was
CRANKING from astern, way too much for the spinnaker, the genoa is in the shop,
and I don’t even have my working jib anymore. We ended up using just the main
and that was good for hitting 8 knots, but the balance was terrible. Steering a
straight line and not rounding up was a bit of a challenge.
In hindsight dragging out the storm jib would have been worth it for balance.
