Time Stands Still

I wish I had more to write about but unfortunately nothing much has happened since my last post. I have finally made time to go pick up my Boom in Toronto from George R. I'm sure he's getting sick of waiting for me to arrive but this has possibly been the busiest summer I have every had. I am almost happy that summer is almost gone. I find it strange that in a country that has a lot of winter that we do not do more during the cold months instead of trying to jam
everything into the summer months.

But I digress, after picking up the boom I only have to pick up the mast, which of course is located in Ottawa.

I'm looking forward to see what the clubs in Toronto are like, I've heard so much about them from George that I am sure I will be disappointed upon my return as the Kingston area does not have a single dinghy club. I am sure there are more than enough small boats around, maybe that's something to look at?

I pulled out the rudder and centreboard on the weekend to inspect them. The centreboard when I got it had a big chip out of the trailing edge that I had to repair and I was pleasantly surprised that the repaired was still in place and was as strong as ever. I will have to see if I can find the picture I took of the centreboard before I repaired it. The rudder is in just as good of condition as it was when I put it away oh so many years ago, which I am very happy about.

I would love to get the boat in the water for the remainder of this year, but I think the way the weather has been going these past 2 weeks and the problems finding a trailer, I don't think I will be sailing before next year.
