Spring Sailboat Prep Starts

Well it is March 15 and 80 degrees.  I met up with the most of the crew on Wednesday at the barn where two S2 7.9 racing sailboats are stored.  After a bit of refreshment, we started working on adding spinnaker ram cleats to the top deck and moving bottom paint line up four inches by removing the old vinyl trim and sanding out the lines.

A flourescent bulb burned out and made a nasty smell, and the 30 seconds it took us to find the burning object was high excitement.  Nobody wanted the boats to burn up.

Time for a break and some pizza.

Till next week.

OUPV Exam April 28

Eeek – Coast Guard exam for the OUPV and Master license is scheduled for April 28.  I need to speed up my ability to mark the chart and perform the math.   Lots of reading and practice questions.

Question of the night.  Are slack water and stand of water really any different?

Send me your sample questions so I can practice.
