Can you say, *PW*??? Enjoy accomplishing your long, honey-do list, Skippy.

In the meanwhile your boat just sits. The new bottom paint becomes old
and slimed up. The water seeps in and the osmosis begins anew.

Actually, I've been so sick (flu?) that I lost track of the days, thinking I
was one fewer than I had. Very successful outcome on the yard, and now at
another kid's house (well, if you count 44.5y/o as a kid), where I hope to
get out the log before heading to yet another's, tomorrow early afternoon...

As to the boat bottom, I'm not in the least bit worried. The guy who turned
me on to this had his bottom cleaned for the first time after more than 90
days in the water. The diver said it was by far the best bottom paint he'd
ever cleaned. I expect the moment we move it, anything which has
accumulated will sluff off.

Honey-do list completed (other than that same kid's wedding, the real reason
we're ashore again, coming up in two weekends), and we're off and running
again. Lydia's mother currently on the fence as to coming along with us for
more shakedown (we'll do more coastal work before heading out, hoping to
break everything which will break while within reach of suppliers and
TBUS)...

L8R, y'all
