Back on the Boat Again

     We're back on the boat again after a week and a half away. I usually only write after a passage or two but the boat is still on land in Pasadena, MD.

     The paint job turned into a sand blasting paint removal job which turned into a grind off inches of epoxy from a poor repair job done by the original boat builder about 10 years, and several owners, ago. Boooooo!

     The boat had more than an inch of epoxy filler removed in some places. Putting that much on is an improper repair procedure and we're paying the price now. 5 figures. To the left of the decimal point.

   
   We were away from the boat to go "home" to empty and prepare our house for a closing.There were several last minute issues which cost money and stress but now it's done. We are without a house. Our only home floats. Yay!

     Frankenstorm is heading our way or to New Jersey or to New England in the next few days. We should still be on land and therefor reasonably safe. We'll see.
