Pisces is wet.

For those of you who can trek North of charm city (or are here already), nothing beats a nice afternoon on the water.

Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing; however, they can still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

If it's Zooom and I, definitely...if I have the 9-year old, probably not a good idea.   ;D  She would, but her father would kill me -for real. 

BTW - Empress, when I first read your post quickly, I was thinking that Summer's End was a place.   [laugh]

A few steps to ge tthe mast up today.   It's surprisingly easy ...only nerve wracking because it's a 38 foot long piece of carbon and it's not cheap if you drop one.

step one...unfold boat at neighbor's bulkhead



step two... walk mast back and pin it:





step three.... have beer and short break while friend swims back to ladder at your bulkead after walking off end of boat accidently.





step four... crank winch and raise slowly (note friend in different, dry clothes)




step five.... fold boat back up and put back on lift behind house.   have beer.  wait for next good sailing day.
