Spring / Summer 2013

This year I arrived late, June 5th, due to finishing an aircraft project in Arizona. Looks like I am behind, but I predict a Spring 2014 launch. As usual the work took way longer then we figured. The rot put me a few weeks behind, plus the acute angles in the V-Berth all added up to a lot of time lost. But the major work is done with the pantry being finished and the new wall in the head. As far as finishing goes on the interior I need to beautify the V-Berth and complete the aft cabin. So I have my work cut out for me this season.
The boat was in great shape. The tarp did the trick and she stayed warm and dry inside. It was just like the day we left it.
