Two days in a row!

7:30am knock knock knock on the hull! Hello! It’s Mike again! Surprise again! It seems that when you least expect it… good things happen! For sure we thought we would be lowered on the list because one of their electronics guy did something to his leg where the Doctor said don’t work for a week. Oh my he was back in the yard.  I have to say all the guys are so committed. That must say something for the owners  of the yard that the guys are that dedicated and they care about their jobs so much as to come in when they’re not supposed to. .. well it says something.  Anyway…

So today we worked on more wires. Mike is a fast worker, and a guy that can multi task. (a rare find) Here are some more pictures of some of the other guys. The guy on the trackor is Joe. He is a buff’um and shine’um guy and a sand-it and varnish-it guy. He is many times next to our boat making other boats look like a million bucks and who knows I think many of those are a million or more!

Then there is Cliffton which I have not had a good picture of him up close, so here is the rigging guy doing what he does best… rig.

We ended our day with a late potluck supper. I’m so bad at food things especially cuz we have not gone to the grocery store for a long time. (close to a month) We are down to can food and chips – for some reason we stocked up on chips or they were on sale and Ben bought them. I had some cabbage left over (we have stopped at the local farm for some fresh stuff) I made cabbage, green peppers, onions and sausage.  All amazing if you ask me but not very good looking cuz no one ate it. Oh well how can I compete with people that bring steak, alfredo sauce, grilled veggies, and chocolate dessert. On the other hand I still have sardines (cuz they keep for a long time) pasta but I knew someone was making alfredo sauce stuff. Now if we would have had a potluck a few weeks ago it would have been better. Ha ha!

Lila found the boat last night just fine.  She left at night and came back a few hours later. Phew! She is getting the hand of the boat moving to different places.  Although she still looks like she wants to climb down a ladder and there is no ladder. Her confused little face is so cute and her brain is spinning you can sense her thinking! Even tonight when we finished the potluck the boat had been blown at it furthest point away from the dock (one thing I hate is trying to jump far – I’m afraid I’m going to miss it – or my back is going to pull out during the jump – I try to think positively.)… and Lila just hopped on without problems and she did not even jump from the closest point. Amazing! She is such a kitten, full of energy and loves to play! What a great companion. Right now she is helping Ben untie the halyards and pull those “ropes” from the mast so they don’t Clang clang all night! It is not polite to leave your lines banging!

Our cabin is such a mess!!! It is driving me crazy!!! On a boat everything has a place it if does not have a place it can’t come on the trip cuz you will be tripping over it. That thing will get in the way. We have our lockers cleared out so we can run wires. We have the sails in bags in the cabin. (they take up a lot of room). We have a big box we are going to send home of things we don’t need.  WE have stuff in the car we are going to sell. (the old Radar and Chart plotter) We have a pole we are going to store at my dad’s friends house. Wow for a short blogggg I’m getting quite windy!

AT&T still down! I miss texting my kids! All is well! Sleep well! Blessings to you all!
