Small Update

The time since my last post has seemed like a whirlwind. Gone in 60 seconds (original) type of gone. This COVID-19 virus has affected us all, I would think, in one way or another. I consider our personal situation to be better […]

After three coats of gel coat, the tape was removed from the stern this morning, the name and hailing port applied. Another lesson learned as the name was much smaller than I had anticipated. It will do for now. The teak patio […]
