Well, another Sunday and another day of working on the boat. We spent Saturday morning out picking up supplies so we could spend Saturday afternoon, you guessed it, working on the boat!!! Today, Nancy is putting several coats of Mop and Glow on the hull, which I cleaned again the last couple of days. I just finished removing the rotten wood known as the eyebrow and if the teak dries, we'll may spend the afternoon sanding and getting it ready to refinish. Tomorrow morning, another upholsterer is supposed to come by to estimate new cushions for the salon. We're not sure we'll be here long enough for him to do the work but at least we can learn the amount of material and get an approximate cost. Then, maybe have it done a little farther north. I'm beginning to believe we could have built one from scratch given all the time we've spent working on this one. I'll try to downplay the work we do, in the future, and hopefully before too long I'll have pictures of the final project to share. Unfortunately, most of the money we're spending on her here will be below waterline where no one will see. This , of course, is the new rudder and the bottom job.

If you missed it, you should check out Nancy's last post. She has some nice pictures of the "Super Moon" and the effects it has had on the tides here in Savannah. As she mentioned, Friday night the tide came into the work area of the Marina and completely surrounded out stilted boat with about 1 1/2 feet of water. It was a little strange to know we were on the hard and yet we were surrounded by this high tide water.

For many years now, folks I met my first year out RV'ing at the north rim of the Grand Canyon and I have celebrated the monthly arrival of the full moon. While working at the North Rim, several of us would go to Marble Canyon Overlook, build a fire and camp overnight enjoying the view and the full moon. Each full moon, we silently toast our "friends both far and near and to life as it should be lived".

I hope each of you have a great "Super Moon" and enjoy life to the fullest.
