Summer Song getting closer to launch date tentatively set for May 15th. A lot of little jobs to do. Finished the rough ones, sanding and painting the bottom and boot stripe. Now touch up the topsides and varnish. Installed a new VHF radio with a remote mic in the cockpit. Put an hourmeter on the engine. Also installed 12 volt cigarette lighter jack in the electrical panel so I can use my Coleman 12v cooler and charge things like my cell phone, iPod, and laptop. Need to order a roll of Sunbrella to make new cushion covers for the cockpit and cabin, and new covers for the sails and hatches. First 8 day weekend at the end of May.

Had great fun at the boat getting it ready for launch and then went to Portland and Hamilton Marine to buy paint and other stuff, never ending black hole for my money.

Spring is here and I am going to Kittery on Friday to start the Spring work to commission the boat. Can't wait to get it in the water and go sailing. I will be taking 8 day weekends every other week due to my great work schedule.
