And thanks to Ken, ATW, for commenting on the threat of sunburn when naked sailing. Maybe the mutual application of SPF 50 could become a sailing ritual.
It's been a week of small victories and small defeats. A week where everything is a chore and I accomplish bits and pieces. I search for solutions and storage. I pack things away. I take them back out and repack them. I decide to do something and it rains and I have to wait while stuff dries out.
Hey, I made a new video. It's in 4 separate clips and needs editing. I forgot how to edit (again) and along with all the other pile of stuff I Need to do, it won't be done. Otherwise you would get 30 minutes of junk in 4 sections. Yeah, I know, it's easy and you just need to learn it, along with all the other stuff that's easy and I can learn, like making soft shackles, handling a schooner rig, perfecting knot tying, sewing, dancing to electro swing music, and baking a good pumpernickel.
Next put the motor on. Budge did the fit. It was a tight fit, but he worked it all out.............Until we glued the two strips of wood to support the end panel. The motor would not clear the two strips. Much creative linguistics ensued involving canine ancestry and sexual practices. I dug out the saws and multitool. I cut out one small section then enlarged it enough where a bit of manipulation and bowelship language produced safe passage. Now all I have to do is figure out how to hold the heavy motor in place and start the nuts. That's next week.
So that is this week's adventures. The boat yard guys are slowly coming around to me and the motors. They just need a couple things done and we can install them.
Again I thank you two readers for continuing to put up with this folly.
