We started early, finishing the masking and painting parts of the cabin walls that only we will probably ever see. It is amazing how much new paint refreshes old surfaces, especially if you take your time doing it. We love the way it looks even if only we know that it was painted.
Meanwhile, Frances doesn't go to just any concert. On Saturday night she and her friend Diane went to Infinity Hall in Hartford.
Frances said the food was tasteless but the entertainment was not. Aaron Neville was on tap and the ladies got to meet him up close and personal.
Time well spent, Frances!
Back at the boat: Our inflatable, which we had hoped to take to Block Island, developed a leak (or two) and will have to be professionally repaired. That means pumping the air out of the damn thing, folding it up and getting it up to the car. Luckily, our friend Bob gave us a welcome hand with that task.
Some time ago, we bought some white Sunbrella material and had our friend, "Canvas John," turned it into a cover for the hatch over our v-berth. We spent an hour mounting the snaps that hold the cover down and it looks great. Now we have nice, diffused light in our v-berth rather than direct sunlight.
Next weekend, we'll get the interior of the boat straightened away and fill the old girl with gas. During the week of August 3, we're heading to Block Island for a week of doing as little as possible. As we write this, we're discussing what we'll have for dinner on Block. Could there be a better topic for a Sunday night that that?
