I’m swimming 1km every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to get in shape for racing in Florida in February. Swimming builds endurance, stamina and strength without blowing out the knees! What are you doing?

We’re all finished and boy is she going to look good for the boat show. The bottom has been painted and now there’s just a little burnishing to do once we get to the show in January. The guys at have been absolutely fantastic. From words of advise to loaning us a pneumatic sander, right down to donating the space in the shop to do the work. Thanks everyone!

Time for new bottom paint! Thanks to the kind donation of shop space from Bristol Marine, I’m taking OGOC out to Bristol Marine so we can put some new bottom paint on and get her all burnished up for the boat show!

Happy Friday Everyone!
Before we know it the and February’s racing will be upon us, so yesterday was spent pulling gear off of the mini. The failed autopilot has gone to, the bowsprit has gone to , the sails are drying out at home and the electronics are being de-salinated and debatteried! We also measured up for new and additional sheet bags for the cockpit, and also some cushions for those long long long distances! Are your boats all tucked in for the winter?

This fantastic and highly skilled is going to give Nick and I the drift calculation training and polishing off of our navigation training for February’s race. The Pineapple Cup race can be won or lost based on the currents that race around the Bahamas. Check out what else they have to offer! Stay dry in the rain today :-
