Here I am just sitting back in
the dead man's position where I have little responsibility but to enjoy
the water and smile for the picture. Karen is still tending to the Jib
and you can see a close up of the cleats (little black knobs) that we
fasten the jib sheets (ropes) to hold. You can always tighten a sheet or
line through these cleats but never release or ease up through them. You
need to snap them up and out of the cleat if you want to release or ease
the sheet or line (rope).
