After 17 years I finally decided to replace my main sail sheet. In case  
anyone is wondering, the old one measured 48 feet and I replaced it with a 50',  
7/16" line. Hopefully it will last another 17 years. Hope the rain goes away 
and  the winds pick up, but it looks like the cold front is going to stall right 
over  us. Damn.
