Of sanding and boating -- a little catch-up

Well this is a bit overdue!  Lots of sanding and painting in the boatshop this past month with the result that one of the skiffs built at Camp Ooch and which we are donating to their summer camp, is finished and ready to go and the Lightning undersides are painted (as of today!).

Ooch skiff DONE!



One gorgeous Lightning!

Life is not all sanding, tacking and painting however and we have been out boating as well. Your scribe has been on an outing last week which took him past Woodwind Yachts, Ken had some lovely projects in his shop...

I got a 5 minute lesson in replacing ribs - really helpful!

The usual drill is to head down to Outer Harbour and Despina our 27' Shepherd on Sundays. Today was no exception plus we moved the Richardson cedar strip down as well to make two types of boating in one slip. We called Chris about meeting him at Puffin (MCC) but he wasn't down - we went anyway and had a great lunch on the balcony!

Ray, Jim & Scott frame Puffin but no Chris!

All buttoned up after another fine adventure!

 We have noticed a very fine Shepherd called Eagle Eye docked just a few slip saway from Despina - today we met her (Oh and Ron). She is a 30' Day Cruiser with galley, dinette, standing head and V berth below.

Eagle Eye!

A beautiful Shepherd!
