Happy Spring!

Just want to say hello to all my old friends and HAPPY SPRING to you all.

I can smell sailing season. I've already got my knife ready to cut off the shrink wrap and get to prepping.


This year I've re-powered my 25' O'day with a 9.9 4 stroke.

I plan on replacing all my running rigging and re-bedding my chain plates prior to hitting the water this year.

I may also try to finally repair my flexing deck....


Or I may just plop the boat in the water earlier than ever and cheat a longer season out of the nasty northeast!

Hope everyone had a good winter hibernation.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
