So, today, for the first time in over 6 months, we sailed. It was on Tabasco, we used the (badly cut) 140, and we topped at 3 knots, but we sailed. It was glorious. Actually, it was just Katie, Rachel (her friend), and I, plus Hal, Olivia and my father. Amy was going to go too, but a trip to Peoria canceled that. Anyway, it wasn't the best excursion ever, but we spent some time on the water, which was good.
In other news, Banana Republics is still mast down, but in the dock. We cleaned today. Some of the stuff on the bottom got scraped off and about half of the top is nicely cleaned and sparkly white. But we're still having trouble finding someone who can swage the port shrouds. We have the shrouds themselves, just no way to attach them to the boat. I took pictures, but I'll have to put them up later. Anyway, i have other business to attend to, and i guess i'll write more tomorrow, since we'll hopefully be out again. Sooooo...Bye!
Welcome!

YE BE THE....
Our weekend!
Definitely exciting. heh.
Tabasco: Obviously. If you couldn't read that, i doubt you're reading this.
Tabasco on Her Trailer: Such a sad sight.
The Keel: Makes you want to avoid getting keel-hauled huh? this is the bad side mind you.
The Speedometer: you know that needle in the back of the boat that we grin when it gets to 4? this is the magnet that causes all the joy
Balancing Boat: it amazes me that that stays ballenced so nicely. but then again, it has literally a ton of lead sitting underneath it.
Set to Roll: All ready to pull out in the creative [and dangerous (just ask)] shot.
The Irony is Killing Me: That's right, we were on top of Lindsay Bridge, the one we can't fit under. The picture has the lake and the bridge, and, in case you didn't notice, the mirror is put in there to show the boat on the bridge. a little creative camera work.
Something Following Us: It's making me very nervous...
The Firefly: The small ultralight (reduntant?) i've been talking about. only 7 grand!
The Firefly's Cockpit: a nice look into the world of '6 gauges you'd bet your life on.' what choice do you have though?
