Nice. Why the complete change of covers, though? You don't like blue?

You missed the furlers, though.

You, my friend, have put a lot of work into this boat; it looks great. I like the color choice on the canvas. Do you have the boat in Colorado? Where?

I too like the beige canvas. Not going with the ubiquitous Sunbrella-blue is a nice change of pace.

It also looks like you softened the hard dark wood accents which is quite flattering! Did you also repaint the topsides and deck an off white?

Nice work!

It may be a hole in the water, but it's mine.

Im partial to blue ..but nice job...I see you added a grab rail to the dodger, good decision..Is that a custom stack pack or off the shelf?

Love the hammock chair..

Are you going to eventually change UV covers on your head sails to match?

And that grill cover has to go...

The purchase price of a boat is just the admittance fee to the dance...you still have to spend money on the girl...so court one with something going for her with pleasing and desirable character traits others desire as well... or you could find yourself in a disillusioned relationship contemplating an expensive divorce.

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.

Hey Mike!!! Looks great!!! I remember sailing circles around a boat just like that (snicker).

I am heading to the Tortugas this week - you going to come? We head out around Thursday I guess (weather permitting). Not sure how long we will be there, maybe a week or more. We will probably head back to Ft Myers Beach after that for a bit, then start heading further south and east. Plan is to skip around the keys, then Bahamas, then south to Carrib.

What are your plans these days? PM me your number again. I lost my freaking PM's here and lost your number! Ugh. Such is life.

I like that radar arch, there is always extra stuff that needs a clear shot of the sky, but that chair....I'm pretty sure the admiral would have me sleeping out there a little too often for my liking!
