PROJECTS ON THE DOCK

August was project season on the dock.  3 boats had their masts pulled with new rigging.  2 of those boats have now left the dock for warmer climates.

Brightwork, new dodgers, paint, rejigging are all going on.  Much of the work is driven by looming departure dates.  After three years of preparation, Rick and Sharon are headed for the 'big left turn' down to Mexico.  Greg quietly left as well.  Andy and Jill are entering the next phase and have shoved off.   Mike and Marisa are on a what was supposed to be a month long cruise, but scuttlebutt has it that their trip will go longer than originally planned.

We've taken some small trips as well.  Cambria is in better shape now than a year ago.  New exhaust, water pump, and other engine work has the mechanical side in good working order.  Brightwork is looking good.  New carpet was just installed.  Progress, but more needs to be done.

Fall is approaching.  Shorter days, cooler nights, lots of dew in the morning.  Summers on the dock are glorious and while Fall is OK as a season, I'm not yet ready for winter.  The thought of going to work and coming home in the dark isn't appealing at all.

Any projects require the right tools....
