June 13, 2016 We diverted to Regent Point Marina from the Corinthian Cruise we were on in order to check in on Owl Moon. The boom has been removed, but the mast is still standing...a bit of progress. Such a hot day, and with Owl Moon on the hard, I didn't feel like doing any work aboard...actually kind of depressing while the rest of the Corinthian fleet are enjoying their boats for the Chesapeake Cruise. Neil Ross invited us aboard Adagio, so at least we are getting in some sailing.

| This is the center of three U-bolts on the bottom of the boom that hold blocks for the mainsheet. You can see that it is bent. Pinnacle (T4300 #5) lost her middle U-bolt while off Hatteras in May. |

| Another one of the U-bolts. There shouldn't be this much corrosion. |

| Cracking on the boom at the end that connects to the mast. Paul plans to remove the SS fitting to inspect more closely. |
