OK, so I guess I didn't exactly keep up with the monthly posts over the winter!! Oh well!! I do have things to tell all you dedicated readers out there now though!! The boat is almost ready to launch. I have very few things left on my punch list!! One thing I am excited about this year is the bright work. I decided it was time to go for it and put on all new varnish. So with the help of a sander and many hours, I took off all the old varnish and went down to bare wood. That wood hasn't seen the light of day since the 70s!! I'm on my 4th coat with three more to go!! Any returning customers should notice a difference and there will be a prize for anyone who even says they noticed it!! So here's the deal, I launch June 2nd, step the mast June 3rd and will have the boat ready for the weekend of the 5th. I have one more week at the High School and on the 13th, I take my students to France. I come back the 21st and am ready to change your lives with an epic sail on Penobscot Bay. I already have some bookings so call or email today! Let the adventure begin!!!
