YESSSSSSSSSSS!!! Thankyou all, you've released me and removed all guilt, and not only that, I didpractice Jeff's idea of the packing tape to pick up the dust. So, I did do some cleaning. AND, now I have a clear head and can face the coming week with new strength.
I went sailing three days this week, and even took Pat one day (it was really breezy and he's good ballast). I've mounted an anchor on a small bow sprit which makes it so much easier to push off from the launching ramp, drop anchor to rig, then haul it up and fill the sails flawlessly. I actually had the whole fire dept watching me on Wednesday (they were doing training), and I'm sure they were disappointed that they didn't get a rescue out of the deal. But, they were sure anxious to help! :?
So, to all of you in the "northern" part of the northern hemisphere, (thank you PAR for your insight), daylight's waning, get out there!
