Chance's spinnaker got a small tear on our first hoist -- so bowman Sean & I patched it during the upwind leg, and got it ready just in time to re-launch on the second downwind leg -- and look, it holds just fine!
Patches went into temporary care originally for 2 days. His foster mom said that he experienced anxiety around men (not aggressive, but fearful), and that she slept on a couch with him to help him to relax. The foster situation, however, has been cut short because the air-conditioning clutch has failed on my car, making transport during the day unsafe for the dogs. Since adoptive homes have not been found, they will return with me to West Virginia tonight while travel is cooler, and where they can be boarded.
Update 7/13: His foster mom says that Patches seems housebroken, and quite affiliative to her (a little afraid of being left alone). The big news is that Patches has found an adoptive home - a 3-generational adoption through the church with another dog, too. The adoption will take place tomorrow at the Duke st. dog park in Alexandria, VA at 5. Chandler, Petey and Duke will also be there.
Update 7/14: Patches went home with his adoptive family and a dapper new collar (all 3 generations). He already has an appointment to be groomed - lucky dog!!!
Update 7/27 (from his adoptive Goddad at church): Patches has mostly bonded with the oldest generation adult in the family (who will be called adoptive mom). He enjoys going out a lot, getting very excited every time someone takes out the leash. He appears housebroken, and is going to the vet this week. His coat has been trimmed to a cooler cut, and he is still trying to sort things out with the other dog (a 4 yo Corgi mix) in the 2nd generation's (Godmom's) house. Neutering him will probably help in this situation. According to Goddad, he eats like a horse!

Rye Patch Reservoir, along the Humboldt River, covers 11,000 acres when full. Here, visitors enjoy fishing, boating, water skiing, camping and picnicking. A campground, boat launch and picnic sites are provided. Rye Patch is open all year round
Whenever Patches (the big calico) comes inside, Rajah always jumps on her, picks on her and follows her around like a shadow. It is as if she hasn't seen her in forever. She will go up to Patches and bat her on the head for no reason. She just wants to play. I think Rajah was waiting here for Patches to get up or move and she was going to attack her again.
The patch panel has been fitted and is in the process of being welded in. The left side was done in the same manner.
