Go sailing, stuff breaks

I (Jon) finished these jobs variously on April 5th.

While sailing along soon after Justin arrived, one of the pulley wheels on a jib sheet block completely exploded into four pieces.

A entirely new block would have cost an obscene fortune here in Australia, but I was luckily able to buy just a pulley and make it work.

Also, the cover for the emergency tiller had been slowly breaking and finally I accidentally stepped on it and crushed it through. I bought a new one of those, left the threads from the old one in the deck, and just used the male threaded lid.
