July 2008

We spent the entire month of July on the guest dock of Fiddler's Cove Marina in Coronado. The weather was perfect all month and although we did not get done as much as we had hoped we sure had a great time. The time we spent with good friends was some of the best times we can remember.

We were able to get several projects done while at the dock. Right before we left Mark went up the main mast to rig up haylard for the spinnaker. The spinnaker has been in storage since we purchased the boat but we figure it is time to pull it out and get familiar with using it. Mark also worked on re-designing a issue that we had with the outhaul (a rather complicated fix to a bad design). Mark has gotten very handy with the sewing machine and re-upolstered the nav station cushions. He also built a deck box for Chrokeva which looks great and gives us a ton more room for cleaning and paint supplies. We purchased a wood heater off of ebay and have been brainstorming on where to put it (more to come on that project later). All in all it was a productive month "
