Trip 164 - Sunday - May15th

 

Marcia and my Anniversary.

But she is still in Maryland.

Twenty nine years ago, on a Saturday afternoon, we stood on the bridge across the Minnehaha Falls and dripping with sweat and the spray from the massive amounts of water flowing down over the falls, we were married by Pastor Rule from Mt Olivet. Marcia thought he had a "nice wiggle". A nice man.

Tom came down and helped me plop some paint on the hull once again. Next year I would like to splurge and remove all the bottom paint down to the gelcoat, remove/repair all the blisters and then put on a coat of barrier paint and two more coats of antifouling paint. Interlux VC-17M.

 

All done ...

 

Tomorrow I will patch this once again. Called the "Catalina Smile". Various thoughts abound, some say it happens when the hull is lifted from the water, others say the keel is a bit loose, I say it does not matter.

There it is, and once again I will attempt a fix.

 

Later ...
