It's curtains! (again)

Yes, another bulletin from Ms. Bettencourt about the Never-ending Curtains Project. My good friend Erena and her magic sewing machine have been astounding me weekly. As of yesterday, were were half way done. She sews.  I do what I'm told.  The three windows in the forward cabin are completed. I think they look pretty good.

Three more windows to go, all in the back cabin. We may finish this job next week.






Meanwhile, planning has begun for a cruise with my friend Major up the South Carolina coast from Georgetown to Southport, NC. We hope to set a date soon for a departure in late April or early May.

This will be one of those trips where logistics could be a concern. I am thinking now that we might trailer the boat to Georgetown, launch and leave it in the marina there. Then, we would drive the truck and trailer to a RV storage place in Southport. We would return to Georgetown in a rental car.

This could be too much hassle and expense just to avoid a return to Georgetown on the water. We may or may not do it this way, but there is time to explore the option.

Finally, please recall a post January 26 about folding print-on-demand nautical charts. I have found a place that offers NOAA print-on-demand charts folded for an extra dollar.

I ordered NOAA 11534 for the Georgetown-Southport trip. It should be here next week. Meanwhile, if you are in the market for charts, you may want to have a look here: http://www.nauticalchartsonline.com/
