Back to CT

Tai and I spent the the first weekend back and the martin Luther king long weekend on the boats and got a lot of work done. The O'Kaye is finally covered. We got all the snow and ice off the decks and cockpit and now she is pretty dry under the cover. The first weekend, Eric, Stephen, and Jack came by. We dropped the rudder and started building the frame cover. That was it for that weekend. Over the long weekend, Tai and I stayed the whole weekend at the boat yard, minus Saturday evening. We cooked all our meals on the boats and slept on them too. Friday night it got down to -3deg outside. Saturday evening i had to sing at a coast guard auxiliary change of command with catholic choir but returned to the boat as soon as it was over. Over the weekend we finished the cover frame and got the tarp on. We also removed the old head from the boat. The new one came in this past weekend and should be getting installed this weekend. I also spent the weekend sanding a lot of the woodwork prepping it for polyurethane. We have some pictures from the weekend but Tai has not gotten them to me yet, so when he does i will post pictures.
