I am getting tired of rain

Post by Art Haberland »

Seriously, this has to be the wettest May in South Jersey that I can remember. Sunny days are truly far between the overcast and overtly damp days that seem to fill the calendar this month.

I have grinding and the epoxy is calling my name, but it is far too wet to do anything about it. The only splashing Flirt is going to see this year are the small raindrops making a puddle in the cockpit

ME TOO

even though our weather is usually warm enough to play year 'round many of our lakes have been closed for the majority of the last year due to flooding issues

the pox work takes a bit longer to cure butt that gives me time to use a cabbage file for preliminary fairing before full hardening

best wishes on your project/progress

nope, no wine yet. I bet it got nabbed by customs as the US has strange rules in regards to transporting alcohol

You mean I bought these wine glasses for nothing????

Got to go out yesterday. I took one of my clients and her friend out. Neither had been sailing before so I was taking a huge chance of losing the account!! Weather Gods were favorable. The winds were only about 5 kts but they were constant and steady. Temps in the mid 80's. May have a new convert to sailing, may get additional business, a win win all over!!!
