Starting a new Boat Blog

Well here we go again.  I decided to start a new blog on a different site.  The old site was going to charge us for keeping our blog with them well.  I can think of a 100 different boat parts that we could buy with the money.  So we will start a new.

We are spending (or have spent) the last 8 days (our of 10) up here in Sandusky working on the Lady J.  It's been a great week.  So much going on here at the marina.  The place is buzzing, literally with sanders, polishers, buffers and the guys hauling boats around.  Everyone is so anxious to get their boat in the water.  We made a commitment finally to have ours at the very least in the water by July 1st.  Mike has been working feverishly at it.  Well so have I, until yesterday when I wasn't watching where I was going and stepped into a 3 foot deep hole in the Galley floor that Mike had opened to work on the water system.  3 hours spent at Firelands Hospital Emergency room and I have come back with a sprained knee and torn calf muscle.  Wearing a stylish knee immobilizer.  Ugh!  poor Mike he's not only taking care of me, but is still working on the boat.  I told him we should stay here that way he still has the opportunity to work on the boat. (I know he would rather be here than anywhere else.)   We need to get used to this since there will come a day when we are out and won't have a "house" to come home to.  So I am spending my time working on the new blog and watching him while he buffs and polishes the boat.  Which by the way he is doing a phenomenal job.  A gentleman named Dave showed up yesterday to work on the boat next to ours and in talking with Mike told him that he would show Mike how to doing the buffing and polishing (since that is what he does for a living, Dave that is).  What a great guy and how lucky are we to have this little "manna from heaven" drop upon us.  

Well that's it for now, will write more later and add some photos once they load up.
