We are still in Cleveland - scheduled to leave today but it just an all day rain so we'll stay put and head out tomorrow as it is supposed to be a nice day. Most likely we'll go to the Grand River - about a 4 hour run. 
In the meantime, work continued on the decks with the next-to-last finish added in the last couple of days. The leaks have stopped so one more project almost finished
So how do 3 grown men attach a small pulley to the top of the mast? By putting the tallest on on the boom and the other two holding him up! Ryan Pendleton (tallest of the three) being steadied by Steve and Paul.
The end result is a steadying sail - Steve is now very happy and we can travel broadside to the wind with much less rolling from side to side (in theory - we'll see it really works!).

Perhaps the wind direction will decide and we'll just sail there .....
