Hi, Wayne, and list,


Skip, with all due respect I think you are being too much of a
perfectionista with all of this. It's only a boat after all, not a
renaissance masterpiece. The laws of entropy will always find yet
another flaw to be fixed.

There are a lot of really great cruising ports out there that you
haven't seen yet.


Noted :{/)

We're starting the skeg packing today, and probably will have it finished
before it's over.

Of note, too, as to hurrying, is that Lydia's son's engagement party is June
30th, 600 miles away. As long as we're a) having to go to that, and b) are
in the neighborhood of the other children and grandchildren, we're going to
take some time and see them after the party.

So, we'll not splash before we return sometime in July. We're hopeful that
we MIGHT be finished before we leave (probably not, with all the coats of
barrier we'll put on requiring a day to dry between so we can move jacks).

However, as I noted, the end is in sight. We're stoked.

L8R

Skip and crew (Portia's staying in Vero until we get back aboard, as it's a
great deal cleaner up there!)

I expect to pass this way but once; any good therefore that I can do, or any
kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now.
Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
