Sailing lessons almost complete. Last day of ASA 103 starts in 6 hours. ASA 101 was quite a learning experience. We are taking lessons in Oriental, NC. At Bow to Stern.

We both really like the area. The instructors have been excellent! Taking these lessons at Bow to Stern has been a great experience.

Kelly has really done well. The end of day three has left me sunburned and tired. Kelly is also wore out.

We laughed about the struggle to keep from going to bed before the sun even set. But the sun did set before we did. Tomorrow is March 31st. The anniversary of me getting hurt. How ironic that it is the last day of our sailing lessons. It has been quite the battle to get to this place in my recovery. I am finally ready to start sailing Mary Lee....yay!!!

We are set to take sailing lessons at the end of the month. A.S.A.. Three levels available. We will take 101 and 103 this month. 104 in April.
   Mary Lee will come out of the water soon after. New bottom paint and some changes. Adding more batteries. Building the booth and finishing upholstery.
  Once back in the water....we are thinking of moving her to Oriental. We both like the area better. We will spend my "home time" sailing and wrapping up the little projects. Canvas being one of the necessary needs.
 

I have a partner in crime(so to speak). I have been dating Kelly for over 6 months

.

She and I are going to tag team the rest of the preparations on Mary Lee.

I will continue driving truck. I will drive three weeks and have a week to work on boat projects each month. This is mostly unheard of in trucking. They usually want you to be out 30 days and take three days off.  We plan to head south at the end of this upcoming hurricane season.

It will be a very busy time.  As we get rolling on projects, I will try to post the upgrades as they are completed. Mary Lee will come out of the water soon
