Yo crewmates, If the weather permits, I'm going to try to follow the schedule below to get the boat ready to be splashed. Anchor's Way tells me we are blocking a boat that wants to launch, so it's time to get motivated! Will plan to tackle some inside cabin projects once the boat is in the water, and with less time pressure.
If you have any free time and want to come by, I'd appreciate any help! Wear old clothes!
Gate combo for the entrance drive into the Anchor's Way boatyard is 3214. Mercedes is sitting to the left of the drive - turning left at the first opportunity past the barrier gets you close. I expect to be at the boat all day on the weekend days and afternoon/evening on the weekdays. Text me first to check - 269.861.5119. -Chris

Monday, May 7 ..... Wax topsides if weather OK.
Tuesday, May 8 ..... Finish waxing topsides [will not be working after 5pm this day].
