Jimmy Buffett speeds things up!!!

 

It's hard to believe that it's only been 9 days since my last post because I have so many new pictures.

 

We have been planning to go to the Frisco, TX (Dallas) Jimmy Buffett spectacle for months, but this past week, it occurred to us that if we got enough done on the boat, we would have a place to stay for the show! Talk about speedin' things up! That's why I haven't even had time to post the progress.

 

With painting and varnishing done (for now..it IS a boat!) we could add our numbers, etc.

 

did I REALLY move to Texas!

                                          That makes for a couple of happy boat builders!

 

 

So the adventure begins. Did some body say "Road Trip?"

 

 

We found a little marina and RV park only 5 miles from the concert which was perfect for our needs. Lake Lewisville, trees, fire pit. What a find!

 

 

With a day to kill before the concert, the construction continued even on the road.

 

 

We even had a chance to put "Spirit of Jessica" in the water, but with the wind gusting 33mph, I wouldn't let her leave the trailer that has been her home since last August. But she DID get her tail feathers wet!!

 

 

VERY KEWL!!!

 

So the first 600 mile road trip is behind us. I have never had to worry about bug "splat" on my sailboat before, but welcome to the new world of trailer sailing! And we still have 2 weeks before the Spring Fling that has been our target completion date for months. That will allow me to get the rig set up so we can actually sail! Nice to be a little ahead of schedule.

 

....the concert was fun too!!!! :)

 

Sail on...
