Thanks for the comments from Tom (sorry we missed you) and Ken, ATW, for their words of ebcouragement (Yay!). The third annual Port Aransas wooden boat show was this weekend. At least that's what we thought. Every day is the same and we get lost in time. Turns out, it was last weekend- the second weekend in the month. It is October isn't it? We missed it. Who would have thought that the second weekend in October is not after the second week in October? We gotta get a life! We figured it out last Monday. We are bummed. All in all an OK week. Each day we go out and accomplish something. It doesn't matter what as long as we proceed because everything needs to be done and mainly it matters not about the order. Some things get in the way of others and delay the process in one area.
Budge is calculating the electrical needs of the Dog and compiling a list of materials. I am calculating if there's enough money in the account to pay for it. Batteries?????? Holy checkbook, Batman! Major money chunks on the horizon: Metal (masts pod roof support, wind generator mast, etc.), rigging (wire, anchor chain, blocks, more blocks, even more blocks), Dinghy, electronics (VHF radio, antennas, big long extension cord (3,000 miles) so we can plug in while at sea), and god knows what else. I save my pennies....................
