Into season #6...

Let's hope for early spring

>02-06-2012 - My DIY article showed up in Small Craft Advisor #73 Jan/Feb.  Pick one up, page 38.

>05-05-2012 My DIY article "Put on your shades" came out in Small Craft Advisor #75 a few weeks ago.  As you may recall, I made shades last year from placemats for my P23.  I have the bottom and rudder painted, and I'm planning to launch on Sunday, weather permitting.

SCA #75, Check it out.

My list of tasks are short for 2012

Can't wait to try my new "Dual-Thrust" prop for my Yamaha. 

Bottom paint done.  Launch is set for 5/6.  OB started and pumps water fine.

We have been going through the process of selling our home this spring. Downsizing to a villa on a golf course.  Once we get all moved, I should have more time to sail.  No more mowing.  No more pool care.  No more trimming bushes.  I'm giving up my building where I store Purr'n in the winter months.  But, I'm hoping to move up to a bit bigger boat next year, so I wouldn't be able to store it there anyways.  Don't worry, I'll find indoor storage for Purr'n.  There seems to be plenty of space for boats this size.  I'll be glad when the move is done.

Sailing is a lot like running a dirt latemodel on the cushion.
