I have bled, my toe may be broken, I am probably broke and repairing the teak companionway hatch has been a form of torture. I still haven’t started on the varnish yet! But first, the portlight.
I removed the forward portlight on the port side after spending what must have been weeks worried...
The warmth of the sun finally appeared and motivated me to choose a project to tackle. I have been pretty overwhelmed with all of the competing projects I need to start, so anything would have been a good choice, but I went with deck cleaning and leak investigation.
But first, a quick update...
Here lies the first blog entry for my 1973 E29. I am so full of optimism about this boat, that I seem to be undeterred by the book of issues that come from its old age. A couple of friends have known the boat for 10 years and tell me that the 2 previous owners did not sail it very often. Sigh...
I grew up sailing the Chesapeake with my family on a Hunter 28. In college, I raced FJ's. After moving to the desert and doing terrestrial things, I am back in Maryland with a well-worn E29.
