Hi All, today was the tenth day in a row that when I got to the boat to finish up all the little projects, I ended up sailing. Each sail has been more than three hours and todays was the best. We, the guy next to me that would also rather sail than work, were hitting 6 kts all day and had the Genoa tracks in the water the whole time. I am BEAT!!! Maybe tomorrow I will work on the boat ;>) Cheers.

I, too, was out for about three hours today before I went to work and the conditions were fantastic!

As far as boat projects go, if I don't get them completed before I splash in the Spring, they just don't get done!

I see the fantastic projects undertaken by some of the board members here...very inspiring but at the same time, very frustrating for me.

Any free time is spent sailing...and ignoring the projects that need to be done.

I think that's what Dennis is "complaining" about!!! It appears to be a condition that afflicts a number of us!!

You got that right, there are days when I go down on the boat just to take a nap. I do my best sleeping on the boat.
