Patriots Day / Launch Day

[john gov.]

My usual plan is to launch on Patriots Day, a holiday in Massachusetts. It's usually on or around April 15th. This year however I will have no boat to launch, instead the hauler will be taking my Ensign to its new owner on Block Island via the BI Ferry on Tuesday the 18th.
I have done no boat work, no polishing, no sanding, no engine work. No cushions to clean, radar arch to install, or bottom to paint.
Now I wonder how I will lose the winter weight. john gov.

John, you still have time to run out and buy a real boat.

I didn't insult your boat, you sold it - remember? Now you can get a real boat, one that goes faster than 7 knots. Took me about thirty years of messing with sheets, halyards, shrouds, spreaders, jamcleats, jibs, 150s, spinnakers, winches and other weird stuff before I discovered that I could accomplish the same thing with a throttle.
