It's Raining Peas!

That was my first thought when I got hit on the head by a small round green object. Looking around I noticed many more of them all over the aft deck. What were they???

The mystery peas turned out to be bearings from the Harken outhaul car on our boom. During the storm it had been torn away and cracked on one end, allowing the bearings to fall out and the car to come off the boom. The purpose of the device is to keep the clue of the sail (far tip away from mast) attached to the boom for proper sail alignment and correct furling. 

With no way to repair it at this point, we removed the outhaul car and tied the sheet directly to the clue. It would have to work until we made it to Cabo San Lucas.
