April Weekending
It was a balance of work and play this weekend. The work was the messy and labor intensive endeavor of rebedding the last three hatches on the boat. We've slowly but surely been rebedding them all (which basically means ripping them out, scraping away the old sealant, cleaning with nasty solvents, applying new sealant, and re-installing then). Why go through all of this? Because boats leak. And leaks suck. Especially the ones over your bookshelf. The routine of scrambling to throw towels over the book nook every time it rains is not one I will miss. So hopefully this new super-goo will do the trick and we'll have a dry boat!
The play was all about heading out in the dinghy. We finally got the "little boat" ready for the season and decided to head to town. The fellas took it easy (to say the least) while mama did all the driving.
It was a lovely spring day, town was bustling with tourists, and we savored every minute of it.
Hope you all had a fun filled weekend too!

oh lovely! It looks as pretty as a picture in your neck of the woods. The artist looks almost too good to be real and you've even got a naval officer in his whites strolling along! Very pretty! Good to hear the book nook is dry.
you know, aside from shoring up leaks and such, living life on the water makes it so much easier to go with the flow, don't you think? I always crave that time away-- that space when going from water to land and back again always feels new and excited and adventuresome:)
Well, the fun part definitely looks fun! I hope you stayed far away from breathing those nasty solvents. Love the shot of Z and daddy kicking back on the dinghy. :)
I hope the new goo makes life a little easier, or at the least, dryer, for you!
Looks like a great weekend was had by all! :)
You pictures are amazing. I just love marina towns.
