Another Week Of Nothing Visible, See? Oh No, You Can't.....

I ain't got no angst. I gots no worries. Hell, we're gonna launch. An unfamiliar boat, wide as a freight car with motors that need a shakedown piloted by an unfamiliar idiot skipper in unfamiliar waters is about to become a reality. What could possibly go wrong? I have no clue about what I owe the yard. I am in ignorant bliss and want to stay that way. When the time comes, I will just cover my ears, say "lalalalalalalala" and hand over the credit card. I ain't got no angst. Phyllis (you remember Phyllis, don't you?) reassured me a couple weeks ago that everything was OK. I gave her the down payment April 6th, Its February 23rd. She may have to row out to me if I decide to anchor out. I gots no worries. The launch looms. I have to rig the running rigging. I have to stow everything. I must muster and master bravado, machismo, and remain cavalier in attitude. I must exude testicular bravado. I must swagger. I ain't got no angst! Perhaps a pencil thin mustache would bolster the image. Naw, I learned a long time ago that I can only be me: Introspective, semi-misanthrope, independent, and strongest when I stand alone. Whoah, dat deep! I ain't got no angst. I gots no worries..........

I will live my life. I will move upon this floating platform and float. I have adventures awaiting. I have vast plans half thought through (half vast). Everyone asks Where are you going. I truthfully reply "I dunno. This doesn't sound like a proper answer but it's the only one I have.

It's Mardi Gras time. I went down and watch the wildlife and collected trinkets thrown at me from trailers. I threw them back. Cheap crap!
Picture
Down there. The starboard forward cabin. The catch-all compartment that, for now, is where everything goes, l will make it a future project to organize it. Now, it is where I am cramming everything.
Picture
Like that half sheet of 12 mm plywood. I cut it into four smaller pieces to put somewhere. It still don't fit.
Picture
And that sheet of polycarbonite for window material.

​And that's it for the week. Car repair, fog, tax time and drizzle all contributed to the lack of production. I am becoming impatient. My zen state is morphing into a fugue state. Time to shed the real estate.
