Sunny and cool
Well we are making head way. Have completed all Varnish touch up and re-varnish. The Traveler is all but finished, awaiting two new blocks to add to boom for the traveler system . Today I am starting to redo/paint the non-skid that is in need of being repainted in the cockpit. Most likely I will end up doing the whole deck.
Have pumped the fuel tank dry of all old fuel and washed out with dawn soap, let it set then vacuumed it all out. Will not add new fuel till I start the engine up later on or just before launching.
Well that takes care of what has been going on the last few months so to all take care and be safe

'Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things
that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the
bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in
your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.' - "Mark Twain" -
