  • Those nests were deep in there!

Too much wind for the planned day sail on a friend's J/105, so we spent a couple of productive hours doing work.  Mostly I focused on removing some old birds' nests from inside the boom, which we discovered while debugging the root cause of a sticky out haul.  I've watched a lot of boat maintenance videos on YouTube but never one about this!  We made sure to plug the open ends of the boom before leaving.
