LOOK..... WAAAAYYYYY DOWN !!!!

Today a trip to the top of the mast was warranted. I had to replace the old VHF antenna wire as the shielding was quite rotten. This was SUPPOSE to only take a half hour or so..... YEAH RIGHT!!
While Dave went over to his boat to get some twine to fish the new wire through the mast I thought I'd grab some pics of the marina.... from a birds eye perspective.
Enjoy.....

Finally Done..... Time to get Sailing

With the interior work completed it's time to get sailing. Everything is up and running perfectly.

Keeps on Ticking & Ticking

Yesterday we installed the new stack-pack with the mainsail. Looks good but we haven't used it yet. Our new propane stove also arrived and is now in the boat.
With a little time on the rest of the wiring everything will be set to go away next weekend.

The Boat is Back

We launched the boat yesterday and she looks great. Nearly everything is back together after a long winter and it finally looks habitable again.
The yacht club has installed the new breakwater extension and everything is moving forward to the summer.

It's All Coming Together....... Finally !!

Nothing makes a boat owner feel better than to see the final product as it all comes together. The nav station has been re-built along with the entire starboard side of the cabin.

The hull has been compounded and waxed up and she looks like new.

Just a few more cosmetics to go and we'll be ready to launch next week.

I Love New Wood

FINALLY, I get around to creating the long overdue settee-back and bulkhead. The new 3/4" teak plywood is a dream to work with and will sure make a difference after everything is back together.

Why Own A Boat

We as boaters must accept that our homes will never be the same again.... Teak.... Teak... and more Teak. However, after it's all done we get the satisfaction of knowing that we've done our best and that the boat looks good as a result of our time and hard work.
