MVT (most valuable tool) of the weekend: BFH - Big [insert appropriate word here] Hammer
There is still much to do, before we can go sailing, including: complete the rebuild of the transmission, reinstall the shaft and propeller, replace the sheave on the port jib lead car, and reinstall the jib halyard.
Along with our 12-hour workday, Bayfield lived up to its reputation: a sailing town with a drinking problem! Much fun was had by all.
