The street just up from us is home to the 'Zulu Pleasure and Social Club'

They are having an election for 'King Zulu' and the road median is full
of tents giving away free food and t-shirts! Music (of course) and the
whole area is en fete.

However, I had serious business to attend to. To whit: trying on my new
(spare) mainsail for fit before the sailmakers cut it to size. Think;
'measure twice, cut once'.

Anyway I was waiting for a no-wind day and this morning looked
promising, so off I set.

The mainsail is 50' high, 20' wide at the foot and is heavy dacron.
Dunno how much it weighs. Lots tho, and 'difficult' as it's such a
handful and slippy.

Luckily I had bought a collapsible hand truck which made moving it from
car to boat wasn't too much of a problem.

Wheeled it down the jetty and hauled it on board.

Sounds like you should scuttle the fuggin boat and go to the zulu.

I've never received better wisdom than that saying - it's saved me on
countless occasions :)

Heh. Maybe I need one too! I'll find out once I get the results of my
recent scan, and also after the "stress test" I am going for.
