It has been exactly a year since I saw my boat for the first time. There have been a lot of good times, but I still have not erased the old name and put on my new one, A CENOURA. There was a blog entry about the difficulties of having the name removed and replaced, but I haven’t given up, I’m just waiting for a good wide open amount of time to tackle the project. Watch, I’ll suffer doing it while the boat is in the water and a month after I finish, I bet the boat will require being hauled out for something anyways.
I guess it’s a good thing I rarely ever see the transom. I saw it this morning on my way to the marina office and snapped this photo, though.
At the marina office was a thank-you-gift-package waiting for me. Inside I found a really sincere card, thanking me for having Mia’s brother and sister James and Maeve out sailing. Gestures like this are very appreciated and two extremely functional boat-friendly collapsible bowls and tongs were in the package. Now I can feel one step closer to being a galley occupying culinary expert. I used to mix salads in the plastic bag I had I buy them in.
