The first half of the week was spent traveling up to the Bay
area with Carol to celebrate the holiday and visit friends. In between the gourmet feasts and hobnobbing,
I managed a visit to Hyde Street Pier at Fisherman's Wharf in San
Francisco. It berths quite a few historic boats and
ships, many of which can be toured. I
also went to the old Maritime
Museum Ventura tired and
stressed.
After a bit of rest, I was ready for some boat therapy! Unfortunately, the rain limited me to inside
work, so I had to make a few adjustments (which is not too difficult, since
something always wants doing, inside or out).
The rain also revealed the return of a small, but annoying, leak around
one of the teak hatches over the galley. So that got added to the fair weather
list. Once the rain cleared, I got back
to varnishing the companionway teak and painting the windvanes for the
Hydrovane. I also recaulked the base of
the leaking hatch. With rain forecast in
about a week, it shouldn’t be long before I find out if I’ve got it or not.
impressive ships!
