[Rhodes22-list] any reason to not sail w/o vertical batten

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Mike,
First check the bulb for the streaming light. If it's fine then the next  
area to check is the deck fitting. It has a history of corroding the wires  
inside the connector. You will need a very fine (eyeglass type) screwdriver 
to  loosen the connectors and remove the wires. You will probably find that 
they are  green with corrosion. Clean with a wire brush and reinsert. I have 
found that  using a liquid electrical tape over the connector will make it 
last  longer.

Doyle must've paid overnight for the batten shipping.  It  got here 
yesterday. 
Rigged the new genoa this morning so s/v Muireann is  almost ready to go. 
Still need to troubleshoot the forward white light on  the masthead, it
didn't light up.  Also, need to "un-winterize" the  water system, check the
batteries, fill the fuel tank ...  But we're  getting there.  May splash
tomorrow or mid-week.  Then we're off  the the Chesapeake next Friday with
any luck for a few days cruising near  Annapolis.
