We had some rain overnight. This morniong it was ~55F which is warm for a morning at this time of year. It is supposed to get colder throughout the day and wind up around 45F sometime later today/tonight.
Not planning on boating today. Decided to come into work today as almost all in my Section are out and I'm concerned if we have any brushfires to put out/residuals from the day before Thanksgiving. It supposed to get very windy later and so probably would not go sailing anyway. I have to check latest forecasts to see if later today is really out of the question and also what is in store for us on Sat/Sun.
Starting to think about my winter projects. I have new lines I bought to replace the halyards and I bought the new in mast pulleys/blocks for the halyard lines to replace the old plastic ones that are ragged looking. I removed my Sealand Porta Potti for the winter (just have to hold it in for those days I go out or use that emergency thing I keep in the cockpit locker - Probably TMI - LOL). In regards to the Porta Potti, that may turn into a small winter project. It has two issues - One of the clasps, the plastic hinge broke off. Sealand may have it as a replaceable part since the whole hinge slides off the base. Also, the push pump on the back of the unit seems to have a small sliver of a leak path where water/mist squirts out when pumping. I do not think adhesive, etc will work where the leak is located since the pump accordion needs to be able to flex quite a bit. The part may also be replaceable...but if I have to replace both parts mentioned, I may just buy another porta-potti. I'll check the availability/cost of the parts before making a decision. I gu8ess one thing that factors in is it is much easier to just replace the parts if they are available rather than buy a new unit that may have a different mounting configuration ...even though thatmay not be all that big a deal to establish a new mounting.
