April 8, 2010 Maintenance

We replaced the broken bolt at the base of the pylon. We only had one black, rubber washer so we used 3 metal washers as stand-ins for now. We loosened the two base spectra lines that were too tight so that we could re-tie the two broken lines. All spectra lines were uniformly tightened, leaving a 2" play in each line.

The pylon is still slightly tilted as it was initially. However, all four base spectra lines are in place and secure. The outer 8 spectra and chain lines have remained untouched until we get a secondary rubber washer to replace the metal washers. We also did not have enough dive support to adjust the outer lines.
