A little progress

Well, I painted on the boat for a half a day Saturday and again a little on Monday evening. I have about half of it painted.

Sunday I went fishing with my friend Earl at West Point Lake. We took his boat out to a couple of our fishing holes and finally found some crappie by the end of the day. We caught about 15-17 in all. Not a real good day for crappie but we had fun anyway.

I'm going to take some pictures of the progress of the boat painting for this blog. It needs some pics to liven it up. I'm changing the side stripe from blue to black with a red stripe and the top to a whiter white. It's sorta light grey now. I think it will look good when I am finished. Then I will need to move to the inside and clean, unpack and straighten everything out and reorganize it for this coming season.

If I can pick up a little more work between now and this summer, I might move the boat to Lake Lanier above Atlanta and move onto and work from the boat for a couple of months. It will give me some live aboard practice. I can start looking for sail boats for sale too.

I really need to sit down and draw a line in the sand for buying a sailboat and cruising for a couple of years. That will be the first step in turning my dream into a reality.

Right now it's just all talk and ideas.
