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

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.

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.

poor baby....it was mid 50s on Sat. night absolutely perfect sleeping
weather, and sunny and 70s today. Light winds though. Lisa gooped me up with
lotsa sunblock, but she got burnt

We're already at "hot & sticky." Temps hovering around 100 (38 C) on our
dock Saturday afternoon. Hordes of mostquitoes, too. What you do about
it is get up at 00:dark:30 and work by the pink light of dawn, then take
a nap in the air conditioning (or work on some different project down in
the nice cool engine room). Gotta make some adjustments to life down South.

What's up with mast supports? Are you switching to deck stepped masts?

BTW was it Bill who filmed that footage of the Clintons snoozing at
Reagan's funeral? I didn't see it but a couple of friends have mentioned
it... priceless!

Cetol is great once you learn how to use it. It's way more forgiving on
older teak than varnish. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to put on
16 coats of varnish only to have the plugs and seams blow damn near every
spring. F**k varnish:^)

The main mast step is on the sole so there needs to be something between
that and the keel besides 18" of air. There were a couple of loose chunks
of oak, but we'd like something more likely to stay in place when the you
know hits the fan.

Hahahaha, Prince Charlie was pretty out too, ya shoulda seen it! That was
at the cathedral, Bill was on the porch of the Capitol, he did all the
camera moves on Nancy and the coffin.
