NEW SIGNAGE


John getting it done!
After another wonderful day cruising the Columbia River and a fabulous dinner date, the reality of driving home came into focus. Saturday morning we loaded up the truck, cleared out the fridge and went through the check list our broker provided (Thank you again, Jeff) Dingy was cleaned, stowed, secured and covered. That was just the beginning. With all the canvas back in place, it was time for the inside. You know the drill; hatches, check / heads, check / electrical, check... etc.

We headed back to Las Vegas with all kinds of continuing boat projects to take care of, while at home. First we had to get there, appx 14 hrs behind the wheel. Ouch!

Once home, John wasted no time with striping the port and starboard name plates.  Our fast signs still had not arrived.  He did a great job refinishing  the placards and we were ready to adhere the vinyl lettering, once it was delivered. We worked together well, preparing for our next trip to Portland and Pairadice.



I spent time shopping for rugs and other indoor essentials, while John focused on the outdoor. He ordered a Sailright  sewing machine and planned the canvas order from my notes. We began the garage staging phase, which lasted until the truck was full. I am continuing to work, so he headed up alone and I will join him for a couple weeks, ASAP. Again we will drive home together and be tasked with objectives for the next trip.
