No more work on the boat yet. I am very keen to get something done though. We have a long weekend coming up and maybe I can get something done this weekend. I hope the weather is a bit cooler. It has been cooler this week but you know Murphy and his laws! Jo has […]
Well don’t I feel like a fool. I had my rant about the In-Laws ignoring my weight loss in previous posts. We have just returned from a 10 day visit with them and I discovered why they didn’t see my posts. Let’s just say that their computer is SO old that if I started it […]

Finally managed to peel the laptop away from Paul so I can add to my log! We have been lucky enough to have another small sail on a catamaran. We are now up to about 5 times ever on a cat! So far we still like it… and last time I looked we are still […]

They say that behind every good Schionning Builder is a good wife. Well…assuming that Paul is a good Schionning Builder, yesterday I officially became the “good wife”. Paul and I had a small wedding ceremony at 2pm on the 8th of the 7th in the 6th. The “good wife” definition can be attested to because […]
