Keep stowing stuff into the aft lockers. Go aloft to check the rig. Check the shroud and stay tension. Make sure the mast is straight with a slight rake aft. Tension the mainsail foil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure the running lights and the anchor light works. Set the remaining snaps in the new dodger that Marcia made. Calibrate the instruments. Wash and polish the strataglass in the cockpit surround. Wash, polish and wax the smooth parts of the deck. Pump out the holding tank, and fill the water tanks. Visit with our old marina friends. We have four days. It\u2019ll get done, or it won\u2019t. We are on a boat, living on boat time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/upon-reflection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_9871-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/upon-reflection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_9871-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/upon-reflection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_9871-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/upon-reflection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_9871-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/upon-reflection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG_9871.jpeg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday May 28: Four dock cart loads.
