Ready?

Girlfriend aboard, aka Little Blonde Distraction (LBD)

Storage space cleared for LBD, so she won't be so cranky.

Girlfriend's car parked at Grampa's house for the summer.

New anchor purchased.

New main halyard installed.

Boat power-washed. First shower boat and I have had in a number of months.

Leaky hatches removed, cleaned, recaulked and reinstalled.

Engine tuned and sounding better. No more misses or dying.

New fridge purchased for 3rd floor tenant.

Minor house maintenance completed.


I think we're ready.

Thanks to Glen and Maryanne and their clan for Memorial day crabs and birthday cookie. It's been ages since I've blown out candles on my bday.

Thanks to Grampa for storing LBD's car and giving us a ride back to Bmore.

Thanks to Mike at my old marina for hooking me up with electricity again.

Thanks to Sandy and Dennis for the new knives and fisherman tools (seen in the pic). Now I just need to catch something.


Winds are predicted calm and then southerly tomorrow. I was hoping for a short shakedown sail tomorrow. But if things go well, we may make some miles up the bay. I'll try to get the boatcam and gps online for the sail.
