"I'm sailing! I'm a sailor!": Update

Yesterday, Simon was employed to do the same yacht transport job to Hamble that he did last week, and again I got to tag along. This time, however, it was actually sunny and warm out. Unfortunately, we had to head straight into the wind the entire time, so we motored the full way.

I sat in the cockpit, enjoyed the sun, and drank beer. Now I'm more like a real sailor. But Simon has officially banned me from quoting What About Bob?

In the meantime, there haven't been any interesting posts because I've been chipping paint for days. Paint chipping is not exciting, unless you think that identifying the waxy coat on the roof of the wooden cabins is exciting. We still don't know what it is, but we have dried out the wood significantly and found very little rot, which makes me surprisingly happy. Oh, the thrills!!

In future news, we've decided to get a puppy and I'll be picking him up on Saturday. We're temporarily referring to him as Pirate the Puppy. He'll be an all-black, pure-bred Portuguese Water Dog. Other potential dog names are Fitzroy, Magellan and Popeye. If you have any good ideas, please let us know! We're a bit stumped!
