DEI insanity, Fran on the subject of pennies, and in the “keeping an eye on bird flu” department…
My galley foot pump either needs a rebuild or replacing. On one hand, it’s a Whale pump so it’s easy to get a rebuild kit but the cost of said kit is as much as a Chinese clone of the pump.
Something of a conundrum that I’ll be looking into.
I also found a source for 3/8″ polyester double braid rope which looks very good but only costs 53 cents a foot. Better yet, the seller also includes free shipping which makes it even cheaper compared to the best price I’ve found on 3/8″ Sta Set at $1.68 a foot. I’ll be splicing up a couple of new halyards in the near future and I’ll let you know how the rope works out.
More soon come…
