65 & Holding

We got together with our Bahia friends and celebrated Joe's 65th. It was a beautiful evening and we feasted on all sorts of goodies from the grill and delicious side dishes. Ever wonder what a cake would look like with 65 candles? With the breeze and that many candles it was hard getting them all lit at once. If you wonder if the candles are coming out the sides of the cake at a 90 degree angle you are right; there simply was not enough room on the top. Besides the top of the cake says "65 & Holding"

Boat Improvements

We needed more storage room topside so we had a deck box built. It sits right behind the cockpit and fits in nicely with the design of the boat. We decided to go with a StakPak for the mainsail system and Joe made the new mainsail cover. We now have an inverter and another windlass to handle the 275' of anchor chain. Luckily we found one used but with a little rebuilding and paint, it looks good as new.
