Dock walk.

I took a walk down E-dock this morning after scrubbing Nirvana stem to stern.  There are some big boats on this dock, and most seem to be used frequently and are well taken care of.  There are one or two that haven’t been boarded in many, many years.  The photo above is of one boat that has lichens growing all over the top of its deck and cockpit.  Sad.

As I was walking along in my flip-flops looking at the boats, and not watching where I was walking, I kicked one of the dock cleats.  OW!  Luckily just a scrape.  A few minutes later, CRACK!  I did it again, and this time brought blood.  I thought I had broken my toe.  That brought an end to my dock walk.  Live and learn:  no flip-flops on dock walks.

The rest of the day was spent lounging around.  Until the afternoon, when the beer can race took place.  This week Wally came aboard Nirvana and gave us some lessons in racing a sloop.  Kurt and Kevin won on Dancer.  Marty & Sue came in 2nd this week.  And Monte, Wally & I took third.  That’s better than last week when we came in 4th! 😀

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
