The view from the scaffold on the second story of
our floating home. Its an interesting view of the boat I hadn't
seen before in the 30+ years of the constrction. We are busy
working on fixing the outside rot on our home while the weather
holds. I wish I could spend the time working on the boat instead,
but every few days we take it out for a couple of hours. Its
very relaxing just motoring around the island, whenever we are
out there we have the desire to just keep going. It keeps me
more motivated to complete the outfitting.

We finished our two piece dingy that bolts together
in the middle about the same time we put the sea falcon in the
water. If rows well and sails well also with a sprit sail.

On our third trip out of the dock we had we a collision
with the end of the u-bolts holding the fire standpipe to the
walkway. We aimed out poorly and the current carried us into
the walkway where the aforementioned bolt popped a fender and
tore it off the boat and said bolt also put the gouge shown here
in the hull. Fortunately it was above the waterline, and did
not take me long to repair. Anyway I learned my lessons, and
have not had any problems coming or going since. I also installed
wood pad blocks over the bolts on the walkway so they are not
so boater unfriendly. |
