Sewing a big sail

It’s been a busy couple of months since we got back from our cruise this year. Time flys.

People ask, “What have you been up to? Are you OK? We haven’t seen a blog entry!”

OK, but posting a blog takes some work and we’ve had priorities, like flying to Seattle to visit family, and like a big project list of boat work which needs to get done before we start racing.

So the blog post was put aside.

But I didn’t want to put it off forever, so here goes.

First of all, even though the blog has been quiet, we’re fine. We’re back at the dock in La Cruz (though not in our regular spot, that’s another story). We’re going to the gym, we’re playing pool volleyball, and Mexican Train dominoes.

I spent a week in Washington State and got some quality time with my family, that was terrific, even met a new great grand daughter, Saquoia.

And the boat work plugs along. Some new deck paint, big dingy fix, sewed on a sail, lots of small projects, and more to do.

I think the best way to tell you about it is to show you the photos.

We've just spent a wonderful couple of weeks in Washington State bonding with family and reconnecting with friends.

Boy it's nice to be back home and our state is as gorgeous as ever.

My brother Tom and his wife Kim put on a great party at their house in North Bend and pretty much the whole family came. If you click the photo below you can see what fun we were having.

We have a lot more photos of family and friends to share and those photos will be coming soon. Meanwhile you can go to wingssail images to see what we have so far.

We are in LA now and tomorrow we depart for Beijing on the way to Hong Kong and finally back to the boat in Phuket Thailand early in June.

We'll keep you updated.
