Planned to sail all week but after 2 weeks of solid unrelenting rain with
only a one day dry out between shifts... I decided to call it and put
Overproof to a mooring in Mahone Bay.

Wimp! We've been getting a lot of rain too, but the only effect is to slow down
progress on varnishing. My wife, never one to accept a setback easily, has been
experimenting with varnishing in the rain but can't seem to get that glossy
finish......

Of course, down here our rain doesn't come in solid chunks, it's still liquid.


.....Sometimes it's just really nice to sit on the hook and enjoy the
company of friends as the wet gear dries out down below.

It's a big part of cruising. BTW what sort of heater does your boat have?



Looks like I have to go find another job now....

Good luck to you.



.... If only one of the ladies could
afford to keep me in a manner to which I have yet to be come accustomed
to...

You'd get bored pretty quickly, I bet. But if you want an introduction to some
prosperous female engineers, I know of a few.



Oh well..... I'm broke, I have a sailboat moored in one of the most
beautiful sailing spots on the planet, I have several ladies seeking my
attention.... and I have to find work to top off the kitty. It's a good
thing my liquor is stocked sufficiently to tide me over this most difficult
of times.

Doesn't sound too bad, it could be a lot worse. At least you have actually been
out SAILING!
