After a long hot smmer in Mexico we are finnally heading North. We stayed and and supervised the new paint job which took about 8 weeks. They still need to fix a few things that didn't turn out to well, but we will get it fixed when we return in October. We plan on spending another season cruising Mexico. Every now and then you have to take some time and work on the boat. Now its time to go mow the lawn.

We are all taped up and ready to go, but the humidity is to high to paint.

We decided it was time for Whirlwind to have a new paint job. She was looking kinda tired. We headed back to California to buy paint, but found out we could not buy the Awlgrip in the LA area, so we had it shipped down from fisheries in Seattle. It only took a few days on a truck. Then we headed back down with the paint. The job will take about 6 weeks , so we plan on staying down here until the job is completed. We will update the blog as the job continues.

It's great to be back in sunny San Carlos! The Whirlwind looks pretty good for settting out in the dessert for nine months. We had her brought over to work yard today so we could get her cleaned up alittle before we start doing some boat projects. We will stay here and work on her until it gets to hot. We plan on going back to the house sometime in June.
