There is still at least 15" of snow on the ground and temperatures are expected to get into the 40's F over the next few days. I am hoping that some of the white stuff melts away and allows me to get back to measuring the entire boat which will be converted to a CAD file later on.
In the meantime I am working on list of things that need to be done before we place her back into the water in May. With my arm out of the sling and the approval to pick up more than two pounds, I am ready to get going. I can't wait to get her out of the back yard and into the driveway where she will be sitting on hard ground and close to the house for electricity and water.
During the winter I have been following Jessica and Abby as each works on their sailing trip around the world without stopping. I think about it, but don't know if that is something I can do. If I was able to stop at various ports, I think it would be a great trip. Could you imagine taking a year or two and sailing around the world. I certainly would need a much bigger boat, but the thought is enticing.
We'llget back to you soon with updates.

Cold Winter
The winter has been cold and we have not had a chance to get onboard to complete measuring the parts of the cabin. They are calling for another snow storm this weekend and again we will be pushed back. To keep the sanity I am following the blogs of Jessica as she passes her half way mark in sailing around the world and the new comer, Abby who has been encountering problem after problem. If it were me, I'd turn around. Having problems from the start and being so young can only lead to problems when your out of reach of help. I wish her well, but have my doubts.
