[quote=coastrat]one of those days right!...we were just a little luckier than you. got there and had the boat ready in great time(35 minutes), knew something was up... launched and realized my main was fouled so tried to untwist underway...droped the shackle pin...had a small spare...got back to spot and got another shackle...launched again...went past beau and started heading to horn...when we passed up east deer, heard the ominous "POP" sound...been there...last time i heard this we demasted just shy of west horn island. so we abort and head back. just as we turn into the spot the newly reriveted travelor base becomes unriveted. still not sure if that was the "POP" but glad to limp in unscathed. just got finished installing new mast base/step with rivets from murrays. turns out the rivets they supply are not long enough...now i need to replace all the rivets i just replaced...gonna order new standing rigging monday morning just because.
like i told matt yesterday, if it was easy, it wouldn't be cool...[/quote]
