WOW, I'VE BEEN AWOL!!!

Eight months since my last sailing adventure post cuz I've been having waaaaaay too much fun. God has actually spoiling me BIG TIME. So allow me to catch up.
After going back home for CHRISTmas and New Years, I returned to my boat, now sporting her new mast, but also adorned with a white winter coat and a ring of ice that said winter had caught up to me and I wasn't going any further.
God seemed to be saying that I really wasn't ready for the big blue sea, and neither was my boat, and I realized that I was xestined to spend the summer in a world class renown marina fixing up my boat and learning how to sail her (thank you, LORD ! ) I have established a home here among seasoned sailors, learning many things, and recieving so many free things for my journey that others ask me why I get all this "stuff", to which I reply "God takes good care of me" lolol

I have been given a captains chair, an inflatable dinghy and trolling motor, a new ALUMINUM anchor and rope to replace the one I lost, 2 dock boxes, and a hose and hose reel for starters. I have REALLY enjoyed bringing my boat into her full glory, reworking her teak (she has a LOT) and cleaning and polishing her decks, along with sealing leaks and making multiple repairs (she invents them).
Needless to say, there has been a lot sailing along with the work, so my summer has been EXTRAORDINARY ! THANK YOU, JESUS
