profitable weekend chore-side too and got some uch needed things done,
including some mroe varnishing...

Well, we didn't go sailing but we did go out on boat. Tested new
autopilot, worked fairly well except in a quartering wind/sea ("chop"
would really be the proper description).

It really was a great weekend for sailing, probably one of the best
we'll have until fall. It's already starting to get hot & sticky. Time
to head north on a nice cruise!

Went to the boat today to put on a second coat of bottom
paint and wax the port side ( did the starboard side last
week before it rained). Drove back to were I left the boat
last time but it wasn't there, figured they moved it out of
somebody's way. Drove around the marina but couldn't find
my boat, weird feeling, huh? Drove down to the docks and
there she was, hanging from the crane, about to be splashed.
When I told the yard guys what I came down for they offered
to put her back on stands. But I knew, once they did that,
it would be a few weeks before launching , so I said no,
just put her in.
Only had the genny with me, so I bent it on and went for a
sail. WhooHoo...first sail of the season!!!!

Just be sure to only sail with your starboard side toward shore.

You can always wax the other side from the dinghy...a PITA but better
than waiting a couple of weeks....painting underwater is another thing
but hey...you got to sail!

Wax smwax, who cares.

I can anchor at the beach, in 3' of water and do it there,
too.
Do they make floating extension cords?

I've done it before, you just have to hold the buffer above
the water.
