I got some time on the water a couple weeks ago helping my friend, Wade, move his junk-rigged Allied Princess. He is staging her for crossing to the Bahamas in the next month or so. I covered the trip in a blog post:

Afterward, I was crackling with inspiration and boatwork energy. I headed straight for Wilmington to get to work on my sv Ruth Ann. It was, perhaps, a little early. There is snow in the forecast for Thursday night here. It won't be much I'm sure, but I really REALLY frikkin hate snow.
I've got some good work done already. The next blog will catch up with my progress here.
Glad you got out there! Great inspiration!
