Holy Hades Batman, It's hot outside


All work on the boat has been put on hold. It is entirely too hot (103 F) to do anything worthwhile on the boat. No wind of any significance to take the boat out and sail it either. Northerners have frigid winters to slow them down and southerners have oven ready summers. So until the weather breaks here's a very short video of a sail this spring where we are running next to a friend on his Catalina 25.

Let the Fun Begin!!!


The Admiral

This is the beginning. This is the start of hopefully a long, enjoyable experience. But as a Chinese proverb goes..even the longest journey starts with a single step. This is our single step. We bought a fairly neglected 1981 Hunter 33 Cherubini  that we have begun to put back together. She needs a lot of work, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. This gives us a chance to go through every single system, and make any repairs, upgrades that are  needed. Right now the repair list is long and most systems, if not all, need reworked..
