Phase VIII Countdown
September 4, 2012
AARGH fellow scurvs, tis time to hoist the Blue Peter and call all the crewe back aboard. We are almost done with the house repair and now are starting to tug on the leash pretty hard. Our 15 hp dinghy motor has found a new home on the warm waters of the Texas Gulf and that is a good thing lest it spend time in our barn. As with every trip, we debate the fate of the spinnaker which still has yet to see more than two minutes on duty its entire life yet it has thousands of miles in the back of the MSU. It sure would be a beauty hoisted some fall afternoon on the Chesapeake-----or not. This will be our first fall to witness the end to a boating season and the "putting away" of boats for the winter. We will be on board, we think, for the winter thus we will watch the parking lot at our marina/yard fill with boats wanting to be somewhere in the Caribbean or the Keys.
