BELLE waits patiently

BELLE is now in a storage shed, waiting for the sails to arrive.  Then comes rigging, bottom painting, and final details...

Very warm today, for mid-March in Maine, so now I wish I had ordered the sails a month earlier.

I'll be putting together a cover for the boat--she's only in this nice shed temporarily--so I bought a 12'-long 2x4 ridge pole and a tarp.  The black stuff on the coamings is foam pipe insulation (available at hardware stores).  It should protect the coamings from chafe once the tarp is on.  

Sails might come next week...I hope so!


À bientôt / until next time!
