Ok, its Fall now and we have gone from a toasty 99 degrees to a balmy
92 so I thought it would be a good day to lay on the dock and scrape
barnacles offa my 28' S2 cuz I havent gotten around to sailing her 40
miles away to be painted. At 51 yrs of age, I find that 92 degrees in
blazing sun is kinda warm too. It just about killed me. GOD, I used
to do this with ease.

Yup!! Old age is a killer.

Today, took off the water pump and raw water filter and brought em
home for reworking.
Hubbard does not like inboard diesels but having done a moderate
amount of cruising, I loved both the ones I have had. They have been
extremely economical to operate and do not cavitate as do outboards in
rough water. I have done all my own maintenance and find a diesel to
be simple compared to an outboard.
Best of all, I found today a new (actually very old) travelift has
been installed only about 5 miles away so I can have her hauled
easily. They charge $300 for the round trip in and out, you buy the
paint and they charge $15/ft to do the painting. I could prob find a
better deal but not as close as this.
