A recent sailing trip on august 17th and 18th - we went from our mooring to Barnes Sound and through Card Sound - out Angelfish Creek to the Atlantic Ocean and south to just a few miles from our house ( near the Pilot House Marina). We sailed the next morning to Sanke Creek and back to the bayside to return home. It was lovely! We all enjoyed it very much.

The dodger is nearing completion - just a few minor tweaks to get her done. Then we plan to install a window in the top of the bimini and a "connector" between the two to keep the cockpit dry as can be. She is looking good! We also got new lettering done that lists our hailing port and changed the color to navy blue (eventually will be khaki and navy) instead of green.

We are getting bids for a new set of sails but they are pretty pricey so we're not in too big of a hurry. We bought some line today to replace some of the more worn lines of the "running rigging". Eventually all of it will be replaced. Most of the items on our list are MORE big ticket items so we are slowing a bit in our spending spree.
