A VISIT TO THE BOAT


We went out to the beach yesterday for our first visit since arriving back from Texas.  It was still frozen in at the marina, so we ventured on to the hangars.  
 

Everything is, as we left it in the fall.  No elves had crept in and done all the work for us.  lol  


This was just a quick trip to deliver back to the boat, the borrowed items that we take to Texas.  Simple things that we don't often need, so don't want to have two of, like a craft kit, a sewing kit and a first aid kit.



Plus we got an excellent price on the paint we are going use for our boat's super structure.  So that is a major item on our work list this spring.  All the white is going to be repaired, sanded and painted this year.  Plus the bottom paint is going to be re-done. 


It was very cold out there yesterday, but the weather is supposed to break next week.  Hopefully we will be able to get started next weekend.  



To my calculations there are only about 7 more weeks until the end of May, when we usually launch, so the clock is ticking.   




TIME TO GET AT IT
