Graham,
Great suggestion. With the scupper hose removed I can probably get my
shoulders through to work in there. I was struggling with only getting
one arm in to try and maneuver the pieces to fit them up. I'll try
removing the hose. Did you have to heat it to get it to come off?

Hi Neil
Any time I have to climb back there I remove the hose for the port
cockpit drain (close the seacock first!!). Makes it easier to slide
back there. Still no fun 'tho.

We had a nice weekend up at the boat. Went up Friday to bend the
main on. We took up our spare main earlier to try (it seemed a bit
crisper) but found that the battens are a different length between
the two mains and rather than cut the only set we have to fit the
spare, we brought up the main that was on the boat when we got it
last September. Had to move the strong track hardware from one sail
to the other. Also gave us a chance to continue varnishing the teak
taffrail, handrails and companionway.
Helped a friend take his Pierson Ensign from our marina to its home
on a ball near White Lake Yacht Club Friday night. Practiced for the
Queen's Cup on Glenn Gambel's C&C 36 on Saturday and finally got our
C&C 35-3 out Sunday for a nice cruise on the big lake. Water temps
fell from the low 70's on White Lake to 60 degrees F (1.5 feet below
surface) on Lake Michigan 3 miles out. Lot of haze threatening to
turn to fog anytime. Saturday the fog would roll in and roll out in
minutes.
The only shake down issue that we found were the main and jib
halyards on our new Cajun Rope running rigging kit were slipping in
the rope clutches. After we got back, I found an FAQ posting from
Cajun that recommended scrubbing the lubricants off the rope were the
clutches need to grab. That seemed to work well with the jib. Will
scrub the main next time we are up (this weekend, most likely).
Working on the Wheel Pilot installation. Not fun. The access is
pretty limited to get back to the rudder post to add the rudder
position sensor. Built a platform for the sensor to mount on, now
have to crawl in to mount the platform and the sensor. We miss Otto!
