Plum would be a good color for Scotty's butt.

Soon, I hope.

Damn..It was 80 degrees here today, I'm sunburned. Worked all day
cutting steel getting ready to go into the shipyard and install all my
new portholes, replace the zincs and paint my bottom as well. Wish I
had a plasma cutter, I'm plum tuckered out.

Went sailing today in the afternoon, which typically is when the wind
really pipes, but today it was balmy... in the 70s on the bay. Clear
skies, hardly any chop... just enough to make things fun. Decent wind,
but lighter than predicted... maybe 15kts with gusts to
20. Beauuuutiful.

You missed the hard rain & wind. We had 40 knot gusts over night.
Everything is fine today (a little wet, a few branches laying around).

Glad you had a good week and a safe drive back.

It rained and blew here all day, too and we're supposed to have 40 mph
gusts tonight along with hale, sleet, and possibly some
snowflakes...very strange spring weather...pretty normal for Michigan at
this time of year but Virginia????
