Between preparation for filing income taxes; preparation for the painting of the deck, cabin and doghouse; and preparation for outrigger racing season, it's been a taxing week full of deadline pressures.  I've been a bit overwhelmed by it all, and my regular schedule has been pummeled.  As you might notice, this post is a day late, and my normal weekend get-together with Carol looks dubious at this point.

The prep for the painting has been like a climb up a sand dune: every step up, you slide back half a step. It's frustrating when it takes three hours to remove one nut. And it seems that each time I remove something to facilitate the painting, it reveals something else that needs doing.  I did manage to complete the port installation (except for outer sealant, which will happen after painting).

Even though I'm feeling worn out at the moment, I know it will all get done eventually.   Hopefully I'll be able  to take a longer cruise this summer.
