It’s Not Our Boat, But We’ll Sail It!

We’re on the water and we’re going sailing! It’s not our boat, but that won’t stop us from using it.

Driving out to Palm Beach, we met up with new friends Courtney and Jeremy of Sailing Teho to take their new-to-them boat out for a spin in the Atlantic. It was a great chance for Matt and I to get out on the water again, and for Jeremy and Courtney to have a boat-virtuoso help them diagnose a few issues they were running into.

It was a fabulous day where we were able to get the sails up for a few hours, take a hike around Peanut Island, and enjoy a spectacular sunset as we motored back to Lake Worth.

Cheers from the work yard!

Our Boat Looks Like an Easter Egg

Groundhog Day has come and gone, but in our lives we’re still living it every day.

Our lives are still revolving around working on our bottom. Add faring compound, sand smooth, re-prime where we’ve sanded through, to bare metal, and repeat. With all the extra colors being added to our round white bottom, we’re actually starting to look like an Easter Egg!

We were able to take one day off to celebrate a very special occasion for ourselves, our Half-life-iversary! Now that our 17 year dating anniversary has come around it means we’ve spent half our lives together as a couple. Too bad the day didn’t want to agree with us for having a good time.

Lastly, we finish up the hard dodger with the remaining coats of paint and get it up in place. It will be awhile before we start the fabric enclosure though, as until we get the mast up, we’re still not 100% sure the boom will clear the top, lol.
