    True, she's rigged out more like a sport fisher. But if the lobster traps in the yard are any indication, he also has a few pots in the water during lobster season. Which he'd probably need the boat in the water for. ;)

    Well that's how it's pronounced... :notsure:

    Says that their sail rigging was damaged/disabled too, but that roller furling on the front looks pretty damn intact. I'd like to flatter myself by thinking that I could have jury-rigged something if I had that kind of time to do it.

    Yeah, might not be efficient and you might not be able to tack upwind, but surely with nine months there's time for MacGyvering a solution of some sort. I've never ocean sailed, but you can bet your azz if I were preparing for a long trip I'd think through the likely issues which might come up and have materials/solutions for the most probable. "Be Prepared" isn't just for Boy Scouts.

    I know these work as my father employed one during a circumnavigation years back when his sailboat sunk off of PNG. I just get a kick out of their user reviews and how two or three will be posted on the exact same day.

    The eight officers who worked in the Gun Trace Task Force with the Baltimore Police Department are accused of shaking down citizens, falsifying court documents, and overtime fraud. (Photo: WBAL-TV)

    Two former members of an elite gun unit with the Baltimore Police Department testified Wednesday about the crimes the group committed.

    One of the former officers, 34-year-old Momodu Gondo, accepted a plea agreement back in June. Now serving as a government witness, Gondo took the stand Wednesday and talked in detail about how the Gun Trace Task Force operated.

    “Did you rob citizens when you executed search warrants,” a prosecutor asked, according to WBAL.

    “Yes,” replied Gondo.

    “What did you steal?” the prosecutor asked.

    “U.S. currency, drugs, firearms,” said Gondo.

    “How much did you steal?” asked the prosecutor.

    “Over $100,000 probably,” Gondo said.

    Gondo, nicknamed “G Money,” and six others were first arrested and indicted back in March. All of them were members of the Gun Trace Task Force, which works to get illegal guns off Baltimore’s streets. The men are accused of shaking down citizens for cash, falsifying court documents, and overtime fraud. An eighth officer was arrested and indicted in August.

    The men stole money and drugs from citizens during traffic stops, after detaining them, and after falsifying affidavits to obtain search warrants and entering their homes, according to court records. They would turn off body cameras when they needed to, prepare false reports to conceal what they’d stolen, and coach one another on one how to give false testimony.

    Gondo is named in a second indictment for a drug dealing conspiracy. Authorities started looking into the group of officers after a Drug Enforcement Administration investigation into Gondo.

    In court on Wednesday, he said the head of the gun squad, Sgt. Wayne Jenkins, was completely out of line. “Jenkins was reckless, out of control, putting citizens at risk, overly aggressive. I never saw anything like it,” Gondo said.

    He and his partner said they only ever committed crimes while in uniform. “The most I did were robberies while working, never outside of work,” Gondo said.

    “Most of our robberies were as police officers, so we weren’t too worried about getting caught,” said Jemell Rayam, Gondo’s partner who also testified Wednesday.

    Some of those names look like they belong in a Key & Peele sketch.
