Looking for Bolts - January 20, 2008

I did not realize how difficult it is to find a stainless bolt(s). I found some at Burke Hardware in Raliegh yesterday after visiting both Home Depot and Lowes. Neither had what I needed for the bulkheads.

Today I visited with a friend in Eden fleamarket, who also sells bolts. We talked and I added him to google mail.

Today it is 21 degrees here, no snow though. Working in the work area today getting the starboard berth ready to put in. I think I have come to a plan for the batteries, eletrical panel, VHF, compass and battery switch. The remaining question, will it be in the water by spring?

Sue called and said the unit was was open and Chris should go ski at WinterGreen . Though on call for work, another staff offered to watch the weekend for me.
This was the first time in years, since sailing on the Island Gyspy, we have spent this much time together. That was back in 1996. That's to long of a time not to spent time with one's child.
He still does pretty good.
