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. |

Off to Gibraltar tomorrow. Terry |

Terry 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... Skip and crew |
