just a quick up date... We took another trip to Snug Cove, for Valentine's Day. Caroline and Hank made reservations for a great Valentine's Dinner at Miska... having a wonderful dinner will all the bells and whistles.
They stay overnight with me, of course. With the two heaters working well, all is well snug as a bug inside.
We motored home the following day, no wind :(
Hank working on me the next day...making me a bit more ready to go for the summer...
Installed two new large mirrors to brighten up my cabin.
Installed the second depth sounder, to help Hank avoid hitting any reefs.
Replaced all the flares.
Installed a new drogue for the life ring.
Checked the lifejackets
Repaired the starboard nav light.
Still to: repair the anchor light, repair the cockpit seat (gel-coat coming apart), get new carpets. maybe a wind system, install a waterproof deck clock.
That is it for now... signing off... Tarka

Feb 04, 2012 - Snug Cove B.C.
Good news... Finally going out for sail! the weather looks good!
I been taken for a ride to the West Vancouver Yacht Club for lunch... Caroline and Hank are my guest today. We docked along side the boat lift, very nice, easy place to get into and out of.
Nothing much to do, but wait for them to finish their lunch... a simple soup and sandwich. When they returned, we set sail for Snug Cove; our usual spot of course (A7).
We arrived shortly (no winds to speak of), greeted by their photographer friend Gary Wildman. He is a very well known photographer, taking pictures of numerous movie stars, and special events.. He kindly helped Hank tie me to the dock.

I'm all set-up for the evening... electric heaters on, carpets out, DVD all set, internet connected, and the coffee pot on the stove.
Caroline and Hank went for dinner to Miska Restaurant. Caroline enjoyed her BBQ chicken and Hank had wild duck. The chef working there is also the owner, so needless to say the dinner was perfect!! :)
Went they came home (that's ME of course :) A nice blue-ray movie was in order... however :(( my software screwed up and .... no movies. Hank rectified the problem the next day, but downloading the newest version of the blue-ray player.
Sailing home was OK... cold and only used my jib, as Hank was too cold to raise the main. Oh well... SUMMER is coming. :)
More to come later.
