However, Tom came back from MCM with a surprise. Our Spinnaker was back and all the holes were sewed up. We opened it up in the cockpit and looked at all the stitching. Unfortunately, the wind was way over 15 mph which ruled out trying it today but someday . . .
About mid afternoon we heard pounding on our transom. Our doorbell. Brian and Lynn from Midori, Toronto, CA, came to visit. They have the thirty-third built PDQ of our size and we have the third. When we first arrived, we stopped to visit with them. Tom talked about the changes he had made while Debbie showed Lynn around.
Brian had a tool Tom had wanted to borrow from someone but had been able to find. They invited us up to get it (I think they are in B and we are in N). While there Brian showed and explained his Prussic Hitch Bridle. Since our PDQ’s did not have a centered anchor line, we need to make a yoke on the bow. We have been using a pulley on a line to move the anchor line to the middle.
Midori was built in Canada and first owned by US citizens who then sold her to Canadians. The hull is exactly the same as ours but some of the equipment is different.
On our way home we passed a cute little boat which Tom called a New England Tug. On its side was Nordic Tugs.
We got out our bikes and road up town stopping for a paper, milkshake, apples and pepsi. Exercise is good especially when we have been so lazy recently!
The wind has slanted Catrina a different way and now this boat above is beside us and Salsa below is behind it.
