[Public-List] Spinnaker rigging, pole down haul

[Gordon Laco via Public-List]

Hello Larry,

I'm in Bayfield Inlet on the rocky eastern coast of the bay.  

Rain has stopped.  A couple of loons are fussing around and I saw a huge snapping turtle, the undisputed patriarch of this cove, eyeing Surprise with clear malice.  What a monster.
