Good luck. What are your plans for the season?

The haul out was like a mini vacation! Port Annapolis is a lovely place
to
haul, very friendly people and beautiful grounds. They have enough
elevation to have a view over Back Creek complete with a gazebo and
several
secluded picnic areas. Laundry, swimming pool, and restaurant to boot.
If
I wasn't saving for the rig I'd move there in a heart beat! It was great
getting away from the dock nazi for a time.

The bottom was in pretty good shape for 3 1/2 years; only a few barnacles
on
the pad areas and a few starter blisters here and there. (Woolsey Neptune
if anyone was wondering. ) I'm in big trouble at work...it only took me 1
1/2 hours to sand the whole bottom:^) I even found time to tart up the
name
boards on the bow.

The engine worked great, although Bill found the set screw was missing
from
the coupling, so we are really looking forward to traveling a bit this
season. I guess he had way less confidence in his rebuild than I did!
I've been burned out working on this boat for some time, but I'm feeling
inspired again!

I gave up making plans a long time ago. We almost cancelled the haul out
'cuz Bill had to shoot Regan's funeral. (He was on the capitol steps and
did all the crane shots.) Hopefully we'll cruise around locally and learn
how she handles.

Haggy;

Welcome back, from the old man.

How you coming with the Rig?

I reckon we'll have enough money to do it next year. Hubby's van will be
paid off this January so that will pad out our savings big time!

If it was us, that would mean the engine would suize up in February!

I'm trying to be optimistic here, Katy! Sheesh, you know something
expensive will loom up....

You must have some plans. What's next for the boat?

Right now I'm working on the exterior teak. I finally got Cetol on the cap
rail under the taffrail. We've finally come up with a do-able plan for the
mainmast support rebuild, so that might happen soon. The weather's getting
pretty hot and sticky so I don't know how much I can do.

Must be nice...it finally stopped raining here...for what? you may ask?
How's about 58 F with the wind blowing out of the NW at 20 mph at the lake
at 3:30 pm? And it's supposed to go down to below 40 F there tonight, so we
came right back home...there were whitecaps on Muskegon Lake and the idea of
spending the night on the hook with no heater just didn't seem like a fun
thing...Maybe it will turn summertime tomorrow (miraculously...)

Too bad we can't swap some of that weather.
