A change of plans


Hang nails, Split ends,  Dirty toes and SPIT!! We aren’t going to Fl. this winter!!!!!

Anna and I have had a change of plans this winter. We have decided to stay in Oriental NC for the winter. Deaton Marine has offered me a job for the next few months and our “cruising kitty” could stand a bit of monetary input right now.
The deciding factor was how late in the season it’s getting to be. It will be well into the holidays (if not the first of the year) by the time my contracted work is done here and that would leave us (after travel) about 8 weeks in Fla. A short time for a lot of travel and money. Also, we have had several projects that have been on the “B list” for years and a few months spent at the dock could clear up many of those nagging projects. So, it’s bitter sweet in many respects. We will miss all of our good friends we see every winter but by spring the Snow Goose should be in much better condition and the “kitty” will be well fed. That’s the bad news. The good news is that Anna will finally get the bathroom repainted!
So, lets hope for a mild winter with plenty of sun and average temperatures in NC this winter!

We look like a refugee from a hurricane with the addition of a blue tarp. The tarp creates a work room so I can rebuild the fiberglass dodger top.
