Slightly sailing related things...

This year has gotten off o a very slow start on the water, with not much sailing yet. Let's hope that starts improving very soon.

Lately, there's been a lot of what I'd call "peripheral sailing activity", including

- ordering several hundred dollars worth of boat parts to do maintenance on Carol Anne's boat,

- watching sailing at Tempe Town Lake,

- joining the Arizona yacht club,

- attending Nick Hayes' "Saving Sailing" presentation,

- towing a small sailboat to Arizona,

- towing a different sailboat to New Mexico,

-starting arrangements to move another boat soon,

- paying summer slip fees for Heron Lake,

- attending a New Mexico Sailing Club meeting,

- bring Gerald swaging and riveting tools and a cordless drill so he could work on boats,

- salvaging clear plastic windows and battens from an old sail to be used to repair a better sail, and

- learning that Gerald has been invited to crew in a NOOD regatta and helping him get air tickets.

Let's see, that covers just about everything except for .... sailing.
Knew I was missing something!
