Back in the water for another summer. Have a new swim ladder this year, we'll see how well it works.

The Guiding Star

Only had one nice day this weekend, and we went out and just motored around for a while. Got a new camera so there will be a flurry of "artsy" shots.

In the slip, have to tie the sails on, tape the mast boot on, etc. Maybe next weekend we will get out on the water.

2008 Launch Day

It seems to always rain on launch day for me. Glad to be back in the water for another year. Here is a photo of Eric and Manuel working to get the boat in the water.

Waiting for spring
Ken

Waiting for real spring to show up. The Marina is open but the weather is not cooperating. No real change in the boat this winter, just painting and maintenance. Alot of the bungs that cover the rivets on the outside of the hull are working loose, so those are going to be replaced. The seam between the deck and the cabin sides needed cleaning out and redoing also.

at rest

At rest in the berth. Near dusk, trying to get the reflection in the water, but the low light made it blurry.

No more outboard hanging off the back, and I love just turning a key and pushing the throttle to get instant silent power.

Nothing but fiberglass in the rest of the marina.

The motor test fitted last spring
10/20/2006

The motor shown test fitted in place, clamps holding the plate. The bilge used to have no paint, and here you can also see the grey paint that was applied.
