Like two same-sized allen wrenches missing from their respective sets?!
😉
That would be because we may or may not have dropped one in the water while installing the final pieces of the roller furling lower drum. But don’t worry, that’s why we have a backup set! (Or so we thought.)
I jumped below deck to grab the backup set of wrenches and, as luck would have it, the size wrench we needed was conveniently missing from the backup set! What the hell? Seriously, what are the odds?
Luckily, the dock master let us borrow the needed size wrench so we could finish this project.
Note to self: Pick up a new (full) set of allen wrenches next time we’re at Home Depot.

Our Allen wrenches are all conveniently attached to a pocket knife looking thingy, so we can’t lose one. Of course we could drop the whole thing in the water and lose them all! Maybe that’s why we have two!
Oooh! Great tip! I just can’t even believe we were now missing two of the same sized wrenches. 😉
