As we've observed before, there's not much exciting about watching a boat's bottom dry - it's much less interesting than watching paint dry or even grass grow ...  so we're off on a different tack!  We ARE commuter cruisers, after all!   Today we're commuting to Atlanta where.....

Oh darn, someone has to  play with grandson, Rowan, while his mommy & daddy go off to the hospital to have a little brother or sister for Ro!  "Bean" as the baby is currently named, will be born on Monday, December 3rd & believe it or not, family IS more important than boats ... especially those with drying out bottoms. 

So we won't post daily on what's going on aboard Winterlude, but we will post when there's an update - it appears that Mike's sanding test to bring moisture to the surface is working, so we're hopeful Winterlude will be sporting a newly sanded bottom by this time next week!  Then THAT bottom can dry for a couple of weeks while we travel back to Illinois for our second grandbaby in a month!  Plus Christmas festivities which are always more fun with 2 & 3 year olds around!   :)      See you soon!

Though I don't get the reason why there is a need for you to watch the boat's bottom dry, I have to leave it here because know that it makes you bad the other guys happy. This is a good thing because there is a thing that makes you happy during Christmas season. Well, we have our own ways of making ourselves productive, so I don't have issue if you have enjoyed it or not. What's important is there was a stuff you did last season.
