Life on a sailboat..not all about drinking margaritas.

This morning I wrote a blog and thanks to our terrible wifi in the marina, my blog was lost even though I saw it 'being saved'.  Who knows?
I hate doing a rehash  ...so here goes.
Work continues...me below and Bob outside with the occasional need for me to be outside helping with such things as attaching the sails.  Sails are taken down when one is not sailing...stored in the boat and then of course they have to be attached again.
Sailing is a labour intensive activity for all those who believe the ads which show couples nicely dressed having  drinks in the cockpit or on deck.  That scenario is true if you have a large yacht with staff....but for the plebs that is not the case.
This morning I was able to tidy the V-berth ...it is still a storage locker but now we can see what is stored there, rather than ferreting through all kinds of gear.  Along with more tidying, I made potato salad and ribs for our big meal of the day.
Last night our Grindstone friends had us over for a BBQ.  It is great being with these former neighbours...last night was a bit different as Cal had us 'singing' carols ..of course he was on guitar.
For the moment the boats looks pretty good inside and out. According to the Captain, he has little left to do which means we can be out and about.  How nice!
