[Public-list] Hard on the Rocks

[brooks.glenn at comcast.net]

Hi George,

Yes, will write it up.  I will try to borrow a camera--mine is in France with daughter at the moment, likely not to come back for a while-- and take some shots of the internal construction of the rudder and reassembly.  

Also, my leaking bronze thru hull rudder post/packing nut assembly was finger loose and woobly in the hull after I took out the rudder, so pulled it out and rebedded with 5200 and new glass to the hull.  I could include some details of that little routine also. 

not a big deal but going more slowly than desired, as usual...

regards

Glenn
