High Country was lonely last winter and took revenge by blowing off most paint and varnish, leaving a big ol' mess to work on in the spring. Five weeks of constant attention brought us back into her good graces and she's rewarding us by hardly leaking.

One of the reasons we chose Jenning Boatyard in Fairport, VA was the dogs, who are perfectly happy to retrieve all day long, as long as it's in the water.
Holy Saturday brought a holy snowstorm! My first snowfall aboard brought five inches of heavy, wet snow when we awoke. It was great.
Caught him laying down on the job with the camera this time. "Hey Rick, how does it feel to have 16 tons hanging over your head?"
I enjoy most jobs on the boat. This is not one of them. Painting the metal mizzen stand.
Learning to sail with the wind you've got, not the wind you wish you had. Doesn't mean you can't get to where you want to be, but it might not go the way you think it will.
