Hanging out for the holiday

Mark sorted out our dinghy davit set up.
Still needs a few parts.  What boat project doesn't?

 Last week was Thanksgiving, and we both had the week off!  But, alas no sailing...

Project in Pictures: Copper Coat Bottom Paint

Here's the before... 1/4" of so many years of paint

Welcome to our Project in Pictures!  Here's photo log of the copper bottom application.

Getting rid of 20 years of stuff...

The condo is almost empty...

Day of Rest

I think it's officially Fall in Savannah...

You won't see that much around here these days - a Day of Rest.  

Living in the In-Between

Thanks to a post by Melissa over at Little Cunning Plan, I've been inspired to do a quick update on what it's really like around here.  You know, behind the scenes.

Projects: Hard Top and Tower

Raising the "Tower in a Box" with the boom for installation

Installing a hard top and tower is a major project that we've had in the works since we bought Luna.  

Please. Stop. Breaking.

Mark breaking down the engine to figure out why it wouldn't start...

There are a million sayings to describe what "Cruising" really is:

• Cruising = Fixing your boat in exotic locations
• B.O.A.T. - Break Out Another Thousand 
• 1 Boat Dollar = $1000
• If you wait until your boat is ready, you'll never leave the dock!

We thought we were ahead of the game on this.  Our plan was to buy a boat that didn't really need a lot of work and then make some improvements to make it comfortable for us to live on. And, you know, maintain some stuff along the way.
