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!!!!

Didn't any of you get out on your boats? We had a very 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! Fresh Breezes- Doug King 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! |
