Ford City Picking up Sails

Sail Care said they would have my sails done for around noon.  Hotel check out was 11am, so I called them.  They said they are working on them and would be ready "sometimes after lunch".

Not much to do around the hotel, so we walked around Walmart.

We drove around Ford City.

This was on the front lawn of a house:

 

...and at the curb was:

We went for lunch at Lindy's Restaurant (it was nice):

This was on the wall:

 

 

Which made this picture from outside the restaurant even funnier:

"blow me a kiss"

 We got to Sail Care a little after lunch and they were still working on the sails.  They were just finishing sewing the new material on the leach of the main.  They were putting the sail numbers on the genoa and cleaning up the stitching.

It is amazing how clean and crisp the sails are!  Excellent job.  Yes it did cost close to $1,000 for the cleaning and repair, but I left feeling it was worth it!  New sails for big Still Time would be between 5-8 grand.

While waiting for the sails to be completed, they had various blocks for sail in the front office, and low and behold they had a reefing cheek block for 1" track for $25.  Perfect, one of things I wanted to find in Annapolis.  This winter I will mount some 1" track on the boom and this reefing car on it.  This will allow me to properly reef both mains on little Still Time.

Crossing the border at Fort Erie was painless.

Traffic was stopped on the QEW near St Catherines, so we stopped for something to eat, and got back around 9pm.
