[Rhodes22-list] UPS

[BRUCE GREENWALD]

Mike thanks.  I don't have a spare pulleyso I need to add somethnig to 
serve that purpose.  I had thought about the deck cleat (Stan is now 
using a a second bow eye in place of the old deck cleat) but it is much 
further back than Doyle recommended - maybe that is of no consequence - 
I don't really know.
