I have it on good authority, a more than reliable source, that Wayne B
was a better than decent sailor in his day but has now graduated to
bigger and better things.

Nothing goes to windward like a trawler, and nothing else will keep
you warmer and drier on a dark and stormy night while churning out 200
mile days straight towards paradise. Arrrgh.

It even has a mast and a couple of winches.

Very disappointed that I didn't get a serve!.
I'm in Ceuta, Spain after a couple of weeks in Morocco. Ceuta is nice,
modern has BARS!!! and beer. Off to Gibraltar tomorrow.

I thought the same thing about you when I read the original.

For us, the bottom paint, save the jackstands, is on (last two coats of topcoat will go on when I move them after the rest has hardened a bit), rudder steering is going on today after we align the shaft, refrigeration twiddles coming up (repaired dings and other door problems, new gasketing, etc.), new WiFi system (higher gain antenna, new tx/rx) and pix of the running backs topside installation at the same time I install the Pace Edwards steps at the top of the mast, and boot stripes round out the major stuff.

Little ****, and we're gone...

Congrats on your travels, Terry!

L8R, y'all...

We'll catch you on our way out in a year or so.
Good luck with the last bits.
