I *did* order several new things. [stuff]
One of which is a portable task light. I'm hoping it will be helpful for knitting and mending projects, and also for reading books while traveling. I'm realizing I don't really even have a good setup for hand mending at home in New York. The lights in our living room are fine for ambient lighting, but not great for detail tasks. I have a phenomenal desk light in my home office, but I don't particularly like to work on mending while sitting at the desk. That might be part of why the mending pile keeps growing faster than I fix things.
I also ordered some hand-stamped plates for Petrichor's Hull Identification Number. Some states require that boats that are Petrichor's size and shape be fully licensed, and it also just seems prudent to have the HIN on the boat to be clear about ownership.
Plus a new set of lock blocks, because one of the ones I had wound up going for a swim near the Ashby Shoal, and so I currently don't have a great way* to attach my handlebar flashlight to bicycle handlebars.
*There are, of course, plenty of mediocre options, like rubber bands and duct tape. That gets old after a point.
