THIS FRIDAY WILL BEGIN THE FIRST WORK WEEKEND AT THE HANGAR.

As we would like to launch in early June, it is time to get on with those TODO lists. 

We have 5 weekends in May to work on the boat, but we have  a lot to accomplish in those 5 weekends.  Because of the time constraints, I am going to delay my new pilot house carpet installation until we are in harbour.  

We will concentrate instead on exterior chores, and those that can't be delayed, like sanding and painting and mechanicals.  

We have enough of those each year to keep us busy.  

SO OFF WE GO

TIME FOR SEA-ENNA'S SPRING BATH

Today it was time for Sea-Enna to have her spring time bath.  I know a lot of dogs don't really like to have a bath, but Sea-Enna loves it.  

In fact this time she heard us talking about a bath and she stepped right into the tub as soon as we turned the water on. 

"HEY, THIS ISN'T ENOUGH WATER FOR ME TO SWIM IN."

A quick lather up with shampoo. 

Then a thorough rinse off.  

" I FEEL PRETTY, OH SO PRETTY."

This year Sea-Enna is going to get a complete trim job, once the weather warms up for good and before she starts going swimming all the time.  She will dry so much faster, with a summer trim.

A VISIT TO THE HANGAR TO UNLOAD THE TRUCK

It is time to make our todo lists and to decide on what we will accomplish this spring before Thunderbird goes in the water.  

 

We know for sure, that bottom paint that we brought home from Texas is on the list.  

 

Dan says he has some repairs and painting to do around the windshield and on the bow before we splash.  

 

I would like to finally do new carpet in the Pilot house.  I always said that I wouldn't do that until all of the mechanical work on the engine was finished, and that has been finished for a couple of years now so I guess it's time for my new carpet.  

I also need to finish my dinghy cover, that has been half finished for a couple of years.  

I GUESS THAT'S ENOUGH OF A LIST FOR THIS YEAR

TAX TIME IS COMPLETED FOR ANOTHER YEAR

Well, we got home this year with only two weeks to spare til tax time.  

But everything fell into place, with forms and documents that I pre-arranged, being there and accurate.  So our taxes are done already. 

So now, it's on with boat launch preparations.   






I HOPE THE WEATHER WARMS BACK UP
