It's OK, why care what they think, we know they are wrong...right?

How's your restoration project coming along? Will you be sailing this
summer?

There is a huge wooden yacht here and the owners took off about 3 mo.
ago just after spending 35K repairing and painting the hull. The boat
allready looks like crap, varnish peeling everywhere decks warping and
cracks in the paint where the planks meet.

man.... I thought a steel boat could go to hell in a hand basket in no
time left un-attended, but wood has to be a full time job keeping
things ship shape.

I could never keep the seams smooth on Lahaina, the boat was
just too soft. She needed serious re-framing and
refastening. Sounds like that boat is in worse shape!

Yeah, it pretty much was. Towards the end I had maintenence
down to 2 or 3 weeks spring and fall. The real time saver
was rigging up my bosun's chair so I could haul myself up
the masts, then I could sand and varnish both spars in a
day. Yeesh, don't remind me!

And how do you do it now?

I don't think so. I celebrated the millenium on the Great Wall of
China. It was a bitchen party and nobody complained that we were a
little off on the date.
