Rub-a-Dub


Today I moved Bolero out into a gorgeous Pacific Northwest day for a washing and scrubbing. Thus marking the end of our Spring refit. Tomorrow I will winch the mast onto the deck and Thursday it's down to the marina for an afternoon mast raising. This leaves me ample time to rig and organize the boat before Saturday when I have arranged to have Bolero hung from the travel over their weekend (Sunday & Monday) so I can finish the keel repair.

On a side note, having Bolero out in the open gave me a chance to see the new navigation lights that I installed. I searched for quite a while trying to find a set that would look right on Bolero. Now that I see them from a distance my choice doesn't seem quite as good as I thought.

Very, very pretty. Doesn't a sight like this make the winters in the Northwest seem altogether too long?

If you wanted to fuss about th lights, it is possible to make your own. A photo of an ideal one is a good start. Find one to borrow, and molds can be made...lenses would be cast in clear urethane, tinted.

That's a really sweet shot of her counter... such elegant lines!

Beautiful. I bet it will feel good to get her into the water.

The lights aren't really noticeable from that distance.
