autumn crocus

[piranha]

colchicum autumnale -- not actually a crocus.

rain rain rain. went to the shop to meet with P and discuss things about the boat we need to make decisions on. walked away with long list of things to do research on (mostly navigation instrumentation), and measurements for looking at shower inserts and faucets. tried out P's shower which at 32"x32" is comfortable enough, but we'd really like to get away with 30"x30" so we'll have more room for the head (= toilet). then went to dinner at mrs riches. caesar salad with spicy chicken -- yum.

the boat looks good; almost done with fairing the hull, and next week we'll start the sheeting. we're gonna change from dry exhaust to wet to gain more space and reduce heat in the salon/galley. we also scrapped the circular staircase into the fo'c'sle because while it is ever so sexy, it uses too much space. but P found bronze portholes, so i get those instead. :) his awesome scrounging talents also got us a used top-of-the-line wilcox crittenden head which is awesome.

Alright! Working on the boat. Cool. I was wondering what was going on with it.

things were mostly stalled for almost two years since we didn't have much extra money, my health sucked, and P had his own problems to deal with.

but now we're back on track. with a little luck, it'll be in the water come spring.
