Re: [Cal_Boats] Cal 2-29

Nice video clip! I like the horn off in distance... very nice. Is that a crab pot up on your bow? Also... it looks like your crew was very quiet... maybe thinking about a warm meal when they hit port. ;-) Gregg & Dannae Cal 3-29 Puget Sound In a message dated 6/1/2008 6:57:46 P.M.

Yes, those are two crab pots on the bow. We hadn't really planned for much of an outing except into the bay, but we decided to go out instead of drop the crab pots in the bay. What appeared as quietness was about the only quiet time on the boat :) They were all having fun and were absorbed in watching what was going on around them. There were four down below also. The horn is the ever present fog horn on the jetty. You can always hear it there. Our crew is ALWAYS thinking of a warm meal!

Hi All, FYI, I was doing some maintenance work on Magic yesterday morning and discovered that the stem fitting was failing.  The SS was cracked about 1/3 of the way on each side just below the furler attachment point.  We removed it and are having another fabricated. I have no idea if ours is a factory original part. Regards, Michael s/v Magic, Cal 2-27, #627 Pompano Beach, FL
