"Oh the Humidity!"

I guess i will start by saying i live in Seattle so you could say it is a little humid here at times. Well i have been in the rigging stage on my Revell Constitution and over the past couple of months i have noticed the change in my rigging tension has been pretty minor with the changes in weather. I have used melted bees wax on my lines and twisted it in good with my fingers and the change in rigging tension has not been that bad when it rained out. A few days ago we had a record rain for Seattle!! over 5 inches in a day and when i got home from work and looked at my connie it looked like the rigging lines had all grown by a quarter of an inch. i could not believe how much they had slackened. All of the lines were done pretty taught to begin with and they were sagging so much it was crazy!! I think i might have to try something else for the Seattle climate as far as rigging material goes.
