We are at that time of the year when the boat show season is starting to ramp up. This past week I was able to go to the Toronto boat show a couple of times. As far as the work on boat was concerned we decided to take last Saturday off since we were planning …
154 Days!
It may not seem like summer is on the way but it definitely is. 154 days until she heads home. There is more daylight now and we are almost halfway through January. Boat Day was cut short this weekend due to a family event but we did get a few things done. I completed the …
Boat Day…s!
Since I started this blog I have referred to Boat Day and it is usually on a Saturday. There have been several occasions where we spent a few hours during the week getting things prepped for the weekend. This was one of them. On Thursday I started applying epoxy to the back of the flag …
Better Late Than Never!
As much as I try to get my blog posts done in time, life has a way of messing everything up. This came in the form of an unwanted Christmas gift. Donald and I were both dealing with man-colds over the last week but we did still manage to get some work done. Where to …
Merry Christmas!
This might be the last blog post of 2019 so I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a merry Christmas. Whatever this holiday season means to you I hope it is a happy and safe one. And remember...the daylight hours are now getting longer. This boat day was sunny and mild. A …

189 Days!
In 189 days our boat will be loaded on a trailer and delivered to her new home in Wiarton, Ontario. This countdown helps keep us focused on the end date but it also gives me an easy post title. Some days...most days actually...I can't come up with anything clever so this is more or less …
Happy Birthday Tom!
Since today is my brother Tom's birthday I decided to give him the day off. We are having the plumbing done by a marine plumber and they are starting next week. Because of that I focused on installing the new fresh water tank and clearing the wall that divides the lower berth from the engine …
Becky Is As Snug As A Bug In A Rug!
The long awaited day has finally arrived. The boat was measured for the winter cover on Tuesday and it was ready on Wednesday. They made it in one day!! The universe may not hate me after all. I had been watching the weather all week and my biggest concern was that it was going to …
Finally…
Our winter cover will be here soon. I think. More on that later. Boat Day started on Thursday when Donald and I started working on the floor access hatches. I had some templates made on a CNC and we tried one out. The first of 3 pieces for each floor access was the template to …
