Thnks Roger,
                    For sharing the info.  I have found that I have gotten
lazy and developed some bad habits, not to mention forgotten over the last
55 years of sailing a bunch of stuff too.  So I will be taking your advice
and freshening up my skills this winter and putting them into practice this
winter on the other Enosis.
