Middle Watch Musings
• May. 8, 2008 - Just about ready
Plumper is back in the water with a clean bottom and new zincs. We've been out for a couple sails including Opening Day for both the Canadian Forces Sailing Association and Royal Victoria Yacht club. They were nice days on the water. We sailed up to Long Harbour for easter weekend and had nice winds there and back. Early season sailing is easy on the engine!
Since launching I have put about 7 coats of Seafin Oil on everything wood. I did the taff rails and they look good. I did the cabin sole and it looks fantastic. I also did many of the interior bulkheads and they look really nice as well. I have also spent some time getting Minnow, our little Whitehall Minto, ready to go. She also is looking very buff after several coats of teak oil and some varnish on her oars.
I am itching to get away but little things around the homestead are keeping me back. It won't be long and the one gun sloop will slip her moorings to wander north once more.
