Time is a wasting

It seems that I cannot find the time to work on the O'Day. Though my work hours have been cut back and I no longer work on Fridays. Each time I plan to return, something appears.

That does not mean I have not thinking about the project. In the last few months, I have been considering several items:

1. Would like to have rolling furler, perhaps a CDI with or without ball bearing. And would prefer not spending over $250. That would not get a new system, so will need to search for a used, hopefully complete.

2. All the sheets running to the cockpit. Though Pat says she will not let me take the O'Day to the Chesapeake, I most likely will, especially on the Mobjack, where I started sailing in 1982.

3. Outboards are simple, but would the O'Day handle a small diesel? I have looked on the web and not found any info on this subject.

So much for thinking.
