a bit of maintainance

 Our starboard backstay rope snapped a couple of weeks ago, and we replaced it with some braid rope we had on hand. There is a good fisherman's chandlers in Stornoway, so we bought 12m of 8mm 3 strand rope. Julian has now replaced both backstays with this thicker gauge, so hopefully it will last longer this time.
