It is truly a small world - I got an email from George Henry (an IP owner) this morning and he commented on my earlier post about boots in Austin, TX during our earlier road trip this summer. Boots!
George sails with the owner of Allen's Boots and the owners girlfriend designed the boots that Lesley tried on!

Boom
On Friday Roy, from Harbor Mobile Marine, helped us remove a generator from an Island Packet 38. We moved the boat over to the Fuel Dock and rolled the Bimini back. Roy moved the boom down close to the lazarette and we used a come along to lift the generator up to the boom. We had to try several times to get the generator lined up so that it would clear but once we had it clear Roy used his Android phone to control the boom.
Yes, his phone! Seems that the boom was damaged in a lightning strike and Roy found a App and blue tooth relay controller on the internet and has wired this in to control the boom.

This summer - busier than last!
Last summer I worked on 3 boats and got a lot done. Summers only about 1/2 gone for us and I've already worked on an IP-38, two IP-32's, and IP-37 and a Leopard 39. I'm staying very busy but like I told a friend I'm not having to worry about a watch or an alarm clock.
Lesley has me on tap to remodel our guest bathroom so will have to get to that or be in the Dog House!
Lesley is making preparations for the coming of our new puppy (not till next spring) but she's ready.
We are also making plans for our annual trek north to Rock Hall (which we did not do last year). We are planning a few days in Atlanta so we can watch the Falcons beat the Patriots! I'm not especially a Falcons fan but I am MOST DEFINITELY not a NE fan.
We plan to spend a few weeks on the Eastern Shore and then make our way back South with a few stops - Oriental at this point and perhaps another one or two along the way. There is a Generator Company in Jacksonville that makes a nice 3.5kw unit based on a Kubota EA-300 single cylinder engine. I want to visit and see how the unit performs and how quiet it is in the sound enclosure.
