Today was measurement. We only had to measure main and safety gear. No problems there. We did see much debate on the Gus jib, seems something was not quite right. I walked away as tempers flared. Guess they got it figured out. There was also a question on one of the Ulman chutes. Something about it may be polyester - not sure how that one was resolved. Got my boat weighted, let's just say it was an eye opening experience.
Boom vang.
Two explanations on that crazy check.
1. only one waco 360 can be use but not on vang. ok if swivel is not 360.
This sounds whacked to me
2. the verbiage was to check laser like vangs with cleat on vang line from boom to tabernacle. OK, this one kind of make sense.
Name dropping:
Parking spot next to Chip Marlin and Hunter Riddle.
Watched Benz Faget re-invent the Scot on a club boat.
Had lunch with Allan and Katie Turhune
Shared a drink with Brian Heyes
Did I mention that NJ has all full service gas stations? They freak out when you pump your own gas. They also have jug handle left turns - basically you can not make a left on a major street you have to turn early and merge with with street you are trying to turn left on. Then wait at the light - most retarded thing I have ever seen. Some of the gas stations are in the jug handle, no way to get to them.
Quote of the day:
Allan Turhune - "I had salad and diet soda, I can get a Rich's Ice Cream Bar". I like how you think Allan, I also had the salad but skipped the Ice Cream.

jug handles are stupid...huh huh!
It's Jersey what else to you expect, at least they finally figured out traffic circles are deadly. More than you can say for Clearwatar Beach FL!
