Like wearing a tie, I only do that stuff if I get paid a lot. Basically, for 2011 I'd like to get her far enough along that I can cruise her down the coast and work on remaining projects more leisurely along the way or settled in or near Ventura.
ReplyDeleteok, you got it committed! =)
ReplyDeleteWell, the rub is that I'd have to make it out by October before the weather window closes until spring. If not, I won't make it until spring 2012. That would be a bummer!
ReplyDeleteVentura is a real possibility, even late in the year with that tank of yours.
ReplyDeleteDon't see the bigger items you are concerned about before that time, unless you are stripping out the interior again and making it an Ikea Bendie boat. Little stuff you can do down there or in mexico.
You should at least list the bigger items so we can track em heh =)
