Today we tried again to fix the excess movement in the boom. George removed the washer which was already in place—and seemed to be blocking the insertion of the new washer—and discovered it was much thinner than we expected, just 1/32”. There was an identical washer next to the nut so he tried inserting both of the thin washers—adding up to 1/16”—and even that seemed too thick. We dinghied across the harbor to visit Top II Bottom Marine and see if they had a washer that was somewhere between 1/32” and 1/16” thick. No luck. On our way back we stopped by Desiderata II for a short visit with Jean and Michael.
Last night’s sunset.
The small washer we are trying to replace.
Since we were going into town we dropped off a bag of trash and inserted our money into the slightly open window.
After visiting Top II Bottom we stopped by Regatta Park to admire the Christmas decorations. There is a crèche in the background.
Sauerkraut update: I apparently overfilled the jar. This morning I discovered brine bubbling up out of the small hole in the lid. So I took out about 1/2 cup of somewhat salty, not quite fermented cabbage and ate it. Now all seems to be well.
