I just got back from the Keys and a friend moved into a new marina where it seems everybody needs canvas. I did a freebie for him making a whole boat cover out of some old sails and ended up with work galore once people saw his cover. I already had a job waiting in tampa that I had promised to be present for so i headed back up with a waiting list there.

I planned on stopping  by for a visit but my engine died when i was pulling anchor near cape sable. Turns out i had a saltwater drip where I couldnt see it and it ate thru a fuel line. It took 4 days of round the clock sailing to make it to 'tampa. I slept for almost a full day when I dropped anchor outside a girlfriends house in apollo beach.

Then I was towing magic in with my dinghy to her dock and somebody saw me and came to my rescue. That encounter ended up in a complete enclosure job on a 40ft cruiser. So yes Im booked solid and have customers lined up waiting in 3 ports. Im thinking I may be working more than usual this year which is good and bad.

It's colder than a mother-in-law's kiss up here again. If I crewed on to help you catch up would we technically be working off shore? If we were I wouldn't need a passport or a green card , would I? LOL

[Mike]

forsail I forget where you spend your summers I was thinking the northwest for some reason

[Mojo]

Just starting to get hit with the snowbird rush - everyone wants their toppers replaced before they head North for the summer.

I am still on my 7 day a week schedule but have managed to punch some holes in the schedule to give me a few days off. I need the rest as I am on my second bout of bronchitis and second round of antibiotics.

It will be interesting to see how the orders flow in the next two months. 30 days till the kickoff of the rally season which will provide me business through the summer months.

It appears people are spending their money again as many jobs have been full orders.

I usually summer on the Folly river near Charleston. For some reason canvas is about twice the price there than it is in Florida. An average bimini recover is well in excess of $1k.
