Well, spring is still fighting coming to the Chesapeake Bay.  But my 6 month old granddaughter came down for a weekend visit and was introduced to our new family boat.  Of course she can't talk yet, but she was very interested. It moved, and that was good, and it had strange but pleasant sounds and that too was good.  Maybe next time we can actually go out on the boat for an afternoon sail, that is IF spring ever comes.
 
On a second note, I received my used Bimini yesterday from Louisiana.  It seems to be in fair condition and I am hoping to get a few seasons use out of it before we need to replace it.  Even if I haven't been sailing yet on her, she is shaping up.  Next project is to make the outboard tilt release easier operating.
