See that tiny drop of nectar coming out the bottom of the tear-shaped fig? That's nature's way of telling me that the fruit is perfectly ripe. Mostly the birds get to the figs by the time that ambrosia seeps out of (technically speaking) ostiole. There are enough figs for the birds and me too, and I find a few every morning.
SPARTINA is coming along well. Swaged the forestay and spliced the dyneema bobstay yesterday. Ordered one more turnbuckle from Defender Marine (if I'm going to replace them might as well replace them all) and bought some silicon bronze wood screws at West Marine. Prepping for paint today. Cooler weather this coming week and that should be good for some varnishing.
