Saloon cushions, new & old. The old ones aren't actually that old, but poor quality fabric plus super-heavy plywood backs (why???) mean they have to be re-done the right way. Which means learning the right way, one at a time. We're getting there.

More boats = more work. While K replaces the big boat's cushions with new ones made of the proper materials, M is attempting to repair the little boat's dry rot. Sigh.

Happy #PrideMonth 😊
A sailboat mast with flags. On the backstay, the Canadian flag. From the starboard spreader, CPS-ECP and SSCA flags. From the port spreader, Pride and CPS-ECP Squadron Commander flags. Clear blue sky behind.

The only thing more terrifying than this unprecedented ‘abnormal’ surge in ocean temperature is the political & societal complacency, the arrogant belief that we can all carry on as ‘normal’ without consequence. We clearly cannot.

Colin continues the story of making a basically sound, but nearly half-a-century-old, boat ready for sailing. Vital reading for anyone buying a used boat. #sailboat #refit #maintenance #tips morganscloud.com/2023/06/10/…

Rainbow time 🌈😀
Boats in a marina. A large rainbow stretching over them in a quarter circle. A young girl in a lifejacket making a peace sign under one end of the rainbow.

4yo in cabin thinks he's playing tug of war with his sister using a dock line. 8yo on deck is winning because she's tied it off to the bow mooring cleat.

Hey #YGK it's time to get rid of your expired boat distress flares! We'll have the bin at Collins Bay Marina, Sat. June 10, 1 PM - 4 PM. Expired flares sometimes misfire in spectacularly destructive ways, or sometimes fizzle. Hard to predict. Better to just replace them.
An Australian dude on a boat is waving a handheld red pyro flare at night. He's very glad that it's an in-date flare that burns properly, and not an expired one that might blow up in his hand or drop boiling-hot chunks of degraded fuel on the deck.

Brand new John Clark mainsail from #KingstonSailLoft bent on & ready to hoist. Excited.
A white sail flaked down on a white and red boom. Deep blue sky, scattered clouds, Canadian flag on the backstay.

This sail is freaking amazing. Gusts just turn right into thrust. 7+ knots with fingertip-perfect balance.

I have quoted Morgan Housel, one of the smartest people in investing as well as one of the best writers, before. His thoughts about investing often make sense for life, and offshore voyaging.
