Stan,

     I think you sent the message below to me by mistake, instead of sending it to Mike (I don’t recall his last name).  He’s the one who also needs repair to his headsail.  He also wanted a new turnbuckle to go with his stay.  I just need to get two stays with the CLOCKWISE TIGHTEN threaded stem, no turnbuckles.  Have you received the replacement parts yet?

Later,

Dana

sorry to hear that since it was one the few shipping tasks small enough for me to manage myself these days.  I, took it to the PO, I think it was Wednesday.  I asked to buy one of their shipping boxes they promote on TV but they insisted on sending it in the plastic bag you used to send it to us. I gave them "from" and "to" labels that they taped on and I swiped my card and left.  It was not returned to me.  Hope there was no other printed addresses on that bag.   Give them a few more days.
