Back On The Boat

New anchor bag for 3rd anchor made by Sabrina

We are back to our beloved s/v Honey Ryder finally.  This time to move her south.  But not before some boat chores and general maintenance. 

Cap10 Tom got to try out his Bday gift - the Mast Climber and get the ultimate workout as a mast monkey.

The radar deflector had to be hung again after last season.  No easy feat....it didn't even look easy from my casual vantage point on the foredeck. 

First Love

I think the phrase is "you never forget your first love."  This was my first boat.  I took her to college  (K-State)with me and then to KC after college.  She has been part of the fleet through all these years.

Addition to the Fleet

Tom has actually had this folding kayak for a couple years but only used it on a limited bases because the Hobie Mirage was always at the lake, handy and ready to go.
Some pending deck maintenance meant that all the "stuff" stored under the deck needs to be move out temporary, including this kayak.  Tom hauled out the folding kayak and gave her a good scrub.  I have yet to try it and we have been discussing getting it out anyway.  We are hoping/planning on getting some practice  paddles in soon at the lake.

I didn't realize there are so many pieces and parts.  The plan is to take this along on s/v Honey Ryder for some fun exploring.
