2024-12-1541:40

Just some updates and last minute to-do lists that I am wrapping up. We have come to the end of the road here and will find out if we sail this winter or stay put for the remainder of the season. Either way thanks for listening to me rant as I go a little crazy sitting still in the boatyard!

EP#294 Last Chance to Break Free of the Boatyard

2024-12-1330:51

Well, the forecast is showing a possible change in the weather that could fill up the sound with more than enough water to get old Sparrow back out on the ocean! That gives me the weekend to finish any prep that needs to be done and be ready to float on Monday. Thanks for listening!
