Summer is close to ending in the Chesapeake

It is amazing but we are closing in on the end of August and that means one thing......almost time to head south.  We continue to work on Nati and make the necessary trips north but things will begin to change when September comes along.

Sails are scheduled to arrive the week of 9/8......can't wait to see them!!

Rita has done the template for the rest of the canvas work.  It is going to be really cool.....

Anne has cleaned and waxed the whole topside, the engines have been readied for action and we are getting prepped for our annual haul-out for the middle of September.

New halyard.....new sails need new stuff, right?!

We went for another 6 inches of halyard

The days are getting shorter around hear.  Sunset is before 8pm now and it is funny the way it appears  to get dark faster every day.  We have had very little wind and the sunsets have been spectacular....
