Friday & Saturday march 14 & 15 2014
When i left work it was a summer day outside, and this nice catamaran was full on enjoying the afternoon in front of huntington beach. The old guy on his eco hog motorbike and patriot jean jacket was probably enjoying his day too. 
I woke up Saturday and did some small tinkering and maintenance, raised the CA flag (on Saturday, I raised it with just one line, relying on the weight of the flag to lower it down. It twisted around in the light wind and wouldn’t come down. So Sunday I used a nalgene water bottle as a weight with the 6’ boat pole tied to it and hooked it to the lower corner of the flag, but as I yanked down, the bottle cap loop broke and the bottle came crashing down a foot from my head and shattered on the deck - no damages to the boat - and then the pole was stuck dangling out of reach. Fortunately my neighbor mike had a 9’ telescoping hook and I was able to get it down. Now the flag is rigged to be raised and lowered by a looping string.), installed these awesome cup holders that Mia’s mom gave me for my birthday, and Mia and i went sailing. Oh, i decided to put the new name on the transom and screwed up the port-name section thanks to the awkward angle and a breeze, causing the sticker to stick to itself. The real big letters look great, though. Anyways, sailing started off great and windy with her behind the wheel, but as soon as i took over the wind died to a frustratingly light puff from all different directions. I fired up the engine and we motored back to get to our favorite local sushi spot - which we found out is going out of business soon.
So, with the renaming process not completely finished, i am waiting for the ceremonial renaming stuff.
