Ah, finally, alone with Mahdee. David left for Florida on Tuesday. He and his sister are having grand times fishing, boating, swimming, et al, in the Florida heat. Mahdee and I are have grand times doing pretty much nothing. Every day I work a bit on her foresail cover –until the winds get too much and then I either sand a bit of something that needs a bit of varnish or I put another coat of varnish on something that I sanded and varnished the day before and is ready for another coat. Very nice. The routine can change to where I clean something, then try to work on the cover, then do some varnish. That’s how it goes. In the evenings I watch a Redbox DVD “chick flick” that I know I could never get David to watch with me. I also have been catching up on my correspondence as well as Wooden Boat Forum reading and posting there. David will be back on Tuesday. So, Mahdee and I are having great times until he returns.
