The cockpit is done.

We stepped the masts on Friday. Finished about 7pm. As the harbor master was shutting down the crane, he said, "I'll be around on Saturday if you forgot something and need to go up the mast again." But I was off the dock and motoring home by 9pm; was in our old slip about 15 miles down bay by midnight. Cold night--crisp and breezy enough to clear ones lungs of months of paint and epoxy. Just enough chop to mist the boat and me with the taste of salt. Fog over the headlands, but stars above. Stars above a boat that moves again.

Endless cleaning on Saturday. Found tools I didn't even know I had and then five (5) half-used rolls of blue tape. Why could I never find that tape when I needed it?

Bent the sails on Sunday morning. Went for a brief sail to make sure such was possible, but was too pooped for what was blowing in the slot, so anchored in Richardson and slept all afternoon.

Good to be done.
