Not too long ago I had Zippey hauled out for a complete sanding down and repainting. She desperately needed it as the previous owner had not taken care of her at all. The fellow doing the painting appears not to have used proper marine paint as the bottom is currently trashed and already in need

Some plans fell through this evening so Sam and I wound up on the boat, as per the norm when neither of us has plans. Another gorgeous evening. Unfortunately the sun is departing rather quickly these days. By 8pm we were sitting in darkness. The new battery is rocking the lights perfectly so we can

Scheduled with a group of friends to go out sailing tonight. Turns out most were unable to make it, but an old college friend and I pulled Zippey out of her slip and headed out. There was not much wind when we got out of the marina so we motored towards Seattle for a bit.

Had a fantastic sunset sail this evening. A few friends invited themselves along on what turned out to be a gorgeous evening. There was no wind, but we had a great time bobbing on the water and fellowshiping. Sadly this was also a going away sail for Alcane Clowe. Alcane is moving a few hours

My buddy Andy requested a couple pictures of Zippey and I am more than happy to oblige.
