Half of half of half…Monday – June 10, 2014 -- Finished a little early today, but couldn’t finish the trailer lights.  No wire.  They ordered some and it will be here tomorrow.  Another obsession thing.  I could have used four conductors side by side and messy, but I wanted one cord with four conductors inside—much neater looking, and, on the practical side, it doesn’t snag on things.

Since that was stalled I decided to finish rigging.  I figured out the outhaul on the main—never used a loose footed main before. Learned how to step the mast single-handed, and sorted out the halyards, boom vang, and mainsheet. Before that the hiking straps were installed (of course needed to make special tool to hold screws and washers in invisible position—you can’t reach in there either. Then I realized that there are no cleats for mooring lines; that’s kind of important when you have to launch it and tie up, then put the trailer in the parking lot.  Plus Curtis hasn't finished my second hull number plate, and I need to get some kind of fog horn.  So right now, I could have sailed it today, but I want to finish up the tiddly little things first.  If I get half of the tiddly remaining things done every day, I will never finish.  There will be an endless number of increasingly samller things to do.  But then Newton invented calculus because he didn’t know how to sail.  Maybe next week--certainly by the week after.
