Whenever we spend a few days on recips at SDYC, I come away relaxed, relaxed, relaxed. Can’t work on the boat there (yeah!) so we have no choice but to just enjoy life for a couple days. We pulled into SDYC from the A9 anchorage on Tuesday and spent that day at the North Island wood shop milling (again!) and then spent yesterday visiting Paul at Absolute Saab to figure out what we’re doing with Buttercup and Wesley in regards to repairs big and small. A visit to Paul is fun…he lives out in the middle of nowhere on a great little up-down-all-around dirt road. Driving a 99 (like Buttercup) there is so “natural” that I think Paul purchased the place just to have that fun “Saab” drive.

We’ve purchased a rebuilt tranny for Wesley from Paul. As usual, while David is working on boat projects he starts “craving” car projects. So, next week we’ll be picking it up and David will be having “fun” pulling the old one out of Wesley and installing the new one. That means Wesley should be good-to-to for another decade or two. I suppose David will have to go back to boat projects 🙂

We left SDYC this morning and are anchored (again) in nearby La Playa. Lovely long weekend with Veterans’ Day starting today.
