It has been a while since I posted. I have been busy.
  I met Kelly last year while I was going to upholstery school. She lived on Mary lee with me a short time. She also ended up out in the semi truck for 10 months. We have now rented a place and she is not only going to upholstery school, but is being taught to sew in one of the furniture factories.                                 

                                    I grew my first beard in many years.

We have now got a place to sew.                                                                     

                                       Hurricane Florence helped damage Mary Lee. I looked at prices for unstayed masts. Fixing her may cost more than She is worth. I have time to ponder whether to fix her or buy a true deep water sailboat on the west coast. More on that later.                                 

                                     The blog is not seeing any action because I am out in a truck full time and facebook is handy.         

I should mention that Kelly and I did take some sailing lessons. Sadly Kelly does not have picture taking skills. But I do😉
