So today was the first day I was at the boat. Took 400 hi-res photos so I can inspect her more closely at the house. Over all, she's in good condition.
I think the crank that raises the keel is broken. Why do I get the feeling that will be expensive. I found an acronym for boat on the web:

I hope that's not true. Or maybe I just hope that the enjoyment of her will out-weigh the expense. One thing she really needs is a good scrubbing from bow to stern. After that we already have some ideas on where to start.

Spent the rest of the afternoon laying in the v-berth, hatch open, watching the clouds go by. Listening to the sounds from the wires hitting the masts- ping- click-clang. Sounded like an unusual wind chime that was off-key. Boat was gently rocking back and forth.

Staring directly up and out the hatch, it was easy to pretend I was anchored off in some cove. My nose kept looking for the salt smell in the air. That will be an adjustment. I'm on a lake - fresh water, not salt.
It was relaxing all the same.
