This morning I activated the listing at uShip for GANNET to be trucked to Hilton Head.
I also called Kasey, the rigger. The new furling gear has not yet arrived. Hopefully today. If so it will be installed tomorrow.
A quiet morning. The kayak rental is closed on Mondays.
From Larry comes an amusing list of ‘when insults had class’. I thank him. Here are a few:
A member of Parliament to Disraeli: "Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease.
"That depends, Sir," said Disraeli, "whether I embrace your policies or your mistress."
"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it."
- Mark Twain
"He has Van Gogh's ear for music."
- Billy Wilder
"I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But I'm afraid this wasn't it."
- Groucho Marx
Rik experienced a capsize in his Welsford Pathfinder, VANESSA, and has written of the lessons he learned. I thank him for the link and am glad it turned out no worse.

I walked to the supermarket yesterday and as usual Ubered back to the marina. Uber and Lyft may suspend operations in California starting this week because of a law requiring them to treat drivers as employees rather than independent contractors. I found myself wondering what I am going to do and then I remembered taxis. How last century and how quickly we forget.
