Last Friday we made it out on the lake. The boat has been away from the dock a few times to cruise up and down the river but Friday was our first day sails up. We've been running around the state all of June for family events and visiting friends we haven't seen in a while so it was finally good to get some sea air. The winds and waves cooperated also. We had a nice low wind day with practically flat water. We could have water skied out on the lake if we still had our ski boat. All in all it was a great sail only glitch I found was the windex has broke in half sometime over the winter. Guess I'll be making a trip to the top of the mast pretty soon. Over all it was a really good day. When we started to bring down the sails Myles said "ut-oh why it fall down." Apparently he wasn't finished sailing yet this day.
In other news Myles and I have been working on bringing our dingy back to life. Well I've been working he's been playing in my car or napping. The dink or as all who have seen it floating know to call it. "The bathtub" hasn't been used in years now and has been pretty severely neglected. Last time I painted it dark blue to go with my old Catalina. However the paint I used did not stick. I power washed most of it off. While Myles played in my car the other day. Today I started repairing the sharp edges where the fiberglass has cracked. West System to the rescue. Hopefully I'll get it finished this summer sometime and find a motor to put on it. If nothing else it will be fun to muck around in on some of the smaller lakes around here. =-)
