Any sailing yet this year Rob? Don't fall off that sugar scoop
staircase!

Or you still busy puting together that jungle jim?

I've been out 6 times so far. Great weather the last two days.

I just got back from two days... wish it had been six. Fantastic weather.
Friday we went to Angel Island, a short hop, then sailed for the rest of the
afternoon. Winds were in the mid-20s. Saturday, day, I took her out for a
few hours mid-afternoon single-handing. Sailed up to Red Rock then down the
channel to Tiberon, then back, then went to the fuel and pumpout in
Richmond, then home. Again, mid-20s air. Sat night had a bunch of friends
over and we went down to the Ka-Boom fireworks just south of the Bay Bridge.
Sailed down, motored around during the show (very, very crowded), then
motored back due to head-to-wind conditions most of the way... get there
speed. Got back and put the boat away by about midnight.

I really miss that Bay Area sailing. Here we have some serious
sailing
here this time of year. It is extremely gusty--so you really need
extra
crew weight. When the current and wind are against you, as it was
this weekend--we had a rare Northerly with the ebb, it made me wish
I had my Etchells in the water.

I'm really anxious to get it down to the club, but I decided to
redo the decks this year. I'll see how long that takes before I
decide if I want to paint the whole boat. So it will be about two
weeks or more before I take her out. It will be very nice to have
the boat perfect.

I did some more work gutting the interior of my big boat, and I'm
tempted to rip some more of it out. My next project there is building
a cofferdam as a collision bulkhead forward of the rudder post. Time
for more itching and scratching.

Do you have any projects going on your boat Jon?
