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!
