No idea. Rigger is over an hour away. As it stands now he's asked me to ship him the upper *and* lower so that he can ensure the new fitting fits with the rest of the rig. 3' to 4' coils is what was recommended, which sounds tight to me but he's the expert so I trust him. I'll be off to the boat to collect the two pieces of rod after work today, then straight to purolator.
This must be some kind of sign .. I think that Neptune is telling me to move my boat to Georgian bay. I bet I can get it trucked up there by the time that rod is ready. I'm already paid up for the season though so I guess I'de be a fool to do it. Georgian bay is calling though. One can only sail to the thousand islands so many times (two and three week trips both of the past two years, time to start spending vacation time a little differently).
