Go Slow

Fernandina Beach Public Library
November 30
We're going to slow down for a couple of weeks to work on the boat. In Fernandina Beach we're going to the same boatyard that we went to last June to paint the bottom. This time we're installing a cabin heater, and replacing one of the chain plates. I also need to repack the stuffing box (never did that before, hope I don't sink the boat trying)

Next Tuesday we're going to an outfit in Jacksonville to get a new dodger and a bimini (sun shade to landlubbers) built. If we sail in tropical waters we really need to keep the sun off our heads. That will take another week.

After these two weeks, we'll head south again.

The pace of all this work is sure different than when I was a project manager. It no longer bothers me though to sit and wait a week. Must be that I'm learning. :)
