Q: What has 9-1/2 toes and no head?

A: The Captain.  Working on hatch seals.  Those things leak, and this one is over the dinette table.  If it rains in the mornings, it dilutes my coffee.  If it rains in the evening, it dilutes my libation.  I'm not sure which is worse.  So it has finally moved up the list to being worthy of my attention.

While that was going on, Carol had other things in mind.  Clearing out four (of the four hundred) lockers on board, she cleaned and then painted the insides.  The better to store all of the soon to be purchased provisions to make us self sustaining for (at least) a year at sea.

Painting is such good therapy for her.  That's a good thing, because spending so much time with me has got her eye twitching.

The results look very good.

Today was spent cutting the rusted anchor chain section off (about the last fifty feet) and replacing it with two hundred feet of nylon anchor rode.  I can now rest comfortably at anchor in Charleston while my actual anchor is in Bermuda.  This may become important one day. 

Carol spent the day (when she was not helping me) at her sewing machine stitching another set of fitted sheets for the berth.  We will soon, after all, lose ready access to 110v power.

Tomorrow the plan is to put the final coat of spar urethane on the sole and then run into town and finish a few errands.  We will leave on Friday morning for a totally different boating experience. 

Should be fun.
