I have to report that there was some corrosion where the bolts went thru him to hold him on the bowsprit and beakhead. He is brass, so he corrodes very quickly when the metal is bare. So he is still in the shop, awaiting time for me to strip the varnish off of him and recoat him. We miss him too, but getting him back on the bowsprit is a lower priority than other items.
