Carpentry, Nautical Flea Markets and Clowns

I haven't been totally idle since I escaped the medics last year. Greg the carpenter has started on the aft bunk and aft heads. I manned a stand at the Pompano flea market and took many of my failed projects to sell. Tragically I seem to have come back with more stuff than I took up. I do think that my $1 boat buck Cruising Chute is a winner. This was its first time out of its bag in 20+ years. Finally, as we have all come to learn to our cost, there are many clowns working in the boat business. Marge from my marina, however, at least is an actual clown and does excellent upholstery on the side.

Great (motor)sail from Norfolk to NY. Wet and cold trip up the Hudson, now back drying out in Miami.

Sailing Biscayne Bay...

Had a great sail on Wed on a friends Hunter 30, in Biscayne Bay. Even dug out an old Cruising Chute that hadn't seen daylight for many years. Bliss!!!!
