Fall is without question the best weather of the year regardless of where I've lived. Today was glorious, as was yesterday, with temperatures in the mid-70's and a light breeze. Which has been a good thing because Hazel and I are still laboring on Drambuie trying to complete the revarnish before the weather gets colder.
We are getting to the final stages and hope to finish within the next week or so. I figure we have put in over 160 hours thus far and another 10-15 hours to finish. People that do this for a living charge around $5000 to $6000 (I had originally figured $8000 but other IP owners have given me better rate info) and it is nearly all labor. Considered doing it for others. Nawwwwwww!
Once finished with the varnish I can resume more pedestrian type work on the boat such as climbing the mast. The views are good. These shots were taken about a year ago. A lot of open slips in the photo but the marina has filled considerably. More snowbirds are also stopping here, most are on their way to the Bahamas, Virgin Islands, or the Florida Keys. Be nice to join them.
