I live on a boat!

Hi all,
There isn't much interesting to talk about this week. At least not interesting from a sailing perspective but it's pretty exciting from my perspective. I am now officially living on a boat! This weekend we sold and gave away furniture, moved stuff here and there and late Saturday night we got to the boat, my new home. Thanks so much to Susan for all she did, she did far more than I did.

There is stuff strewn everywhere at the moment but now things can get done every day instead of just on weekends. The only real boat related thing that happened today was I had to dash around and put the screens in the hatches to stem the tide of mosquitoes that showed up as the sun went down.

A bit of catch up from the last post, the rigger spent the day on the boat Friday and fixed the problem we had with the roller furling mainsail, he lubed the furlers, installed a spare halyard and tuned the standing rigging. Unfortunately getting things organized today kept us from going out and testing everything but hopefully next weekend we'll be able to take her out when our friends T and Teri are here. The wind was up pretty high today, should have made for some pretty fast sailing if we could have gone out.

Once settled in I might well be posting updates on a more frequent basis.

Take care.

Brian
