Well, this past weekend got us off to a great start in preparing the boat for the upcoming season. We were able to clean and wax the hull, remove the manual bilge pump and throttle quadrant for much needed maintenance, remove a couple of halyards that need replacing, and pull off two deck winches that are in need of cleaning and lubrication. So it was a VERY productive day !Thanks to all that helped! This coming Sunday we'll be at it again, chipping away at the list, so anyone who wants to join in and be as happy as these guys please feel free to wander by. I'll be out there from about 11-4. I'd like to get started on the botttom. It looks pretty good this year so it shouldn't take too much whip it into racing form. I guess all the work we put into it over the past couple of years has paid off. If you plan on coming out be prepared to get smudgy as bottom work has a way of doing that. The building is heated and it is very comfortable to work in despite the cold temperatures outside. None of the boats being stored outside had any activity going on around them so we are fortunate to have Meme provide an opportunity for us to get the jump on the competition. Thank you Meme !!!!! Last weekend, we 'emptied' the boat cooler so you may want to bring along a thirst quencher. If we follow last week's model we'll probably stop off somewhere afterwards to sit, relax and make doubly sure we aren't thirsty. Did I say Thank You Meme yet ? Anyway, hope to see you out there !!!!Billy
