I did something I thought I'd never be able to do...I went to the top of the mast on our boat this weekend! 65 feet. What a view! It was calm in the marina, so it was not too bad. We have a special seat that you connect to the mainsail halyard. Then, you just pull up the person in the chair just like you were raising the mainsail. (still not easy - since I weigh more than the sail!)




The weather has been absolutely wonderful - 70+ degrees. We spent the weekend at the boat to get it ready for some maintenance. We had to strip all the sails and canvas. Richard went with us and took lots of photos. He seemed to have a good time. Neighbor Pat went with us also - he enjoyed the sailing (and the company, of course). We played poker and watched movies while we weren't out sailing. Just a fun, working weekend.


Here we are relaxing before we took the boat over to the repair marina. They will probably have it for a couple of months....so we'll have to figure something else to do this winter!
