Spring / Summer 2014

This year I arrived on April 5 and will do what I can until October 15th before we head back to AZ. I am no longer making any launch predictions because I am always wrong. Jobs that should take minutes add up to hours, and the ones that take hours take days. !!

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.
As we progress through the spring/summer I will put green checkmarks next to the completed items.
