This week C complained about the buttons sticking on his trumpet so they gave him one with better buttons but it was in rough shape. So Saturday morning we went to Regional Music in Millville and rented a newish trumpet. There's been a lot of tooting since.
K and I were sitting on the starboard rear facing seat eating lunch when the rotten wooden support collapsed. I showed it to Ken and his idea was to screw the seat frame to the fiberglass and and put a leg under it.
The transom door has scraped the jam since we got the boat so the fiberglass contractors took it last weekend and I'm thinking he intends to move the hinges.
There was plenty of evidence that they had started work on installing the radar. Cables and boxes everywhere. Ken told me there's a warning in the instructions not to run the radar cables close to the VHF antenna cable and that the installer is having difficulty finding an alternate way to run the cable. We left them the laptop and a patch cable.
A couple of years ago one of the neighbors in the boat yard recommended Collinite Insulator Wax and we've used it as a second coat but buffing has always been a problem. This season the entire hull was waxed with the Insulator Wax except for the starboard side under the lip which was done with Marine Wax from the Spring Garden boat store. K says that wax was SO much easier to buff.
I used full strength Simple Green cleanser as a teak stripper for all the trim on the port side seat/cabinet and it worked but didn't do the same job as Te-Ka. K stripped the teak on the gunwale with Te-Ka.

Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.
J.M. Barrie
What's not possible is not to choose
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much . . . the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons.
Douglas Adams (1952-2001), THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY
I saw him even now going the way of all flesh, that is to say towards the kitchen.
John Webster (1580-1625)
When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing herself with me more than I with her?
Michel de Montaigne (1533-92)
"Business!" cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. "Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!"
Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
