Weekend number two working on our boat was a beautiful day. It actually was a perfect sailing day but you can’t go anywhere when all the deck hardware is stripped and the holes are half filled with epoxy. So we forge on. I crawled under the cockpit all the way to the stern in our J/22. The drain pipe fitting had come loose from the the clamp and water was leaking into the boat. Not to worry! I undid the clamp, pulled the pipe over the opening and reclamped it down. It’s good to go now. The water in the cockpit above will drain out the stern, not into the boat! I was proud of myself. We’ve only sailed our new boat two times. I will really enjoy our next sail after helping to get her in shape. My husband did a great job with the epoxy and the filled holes look great. We have new winches and I can’t wait to get them on. I’m going to be middle crew this season so I will enjoy the sound of the new clicking. We will be new to the J/22 southwest circuit racing scene. I’m a little intimidated since I’ve never done anything like this. I’m excited though to try something new and take a risk. My husband is a good skipper so I know we will have a good time and we’ll improve as we increase our experience. I love sailing. I can’t wait to actually do more of it!
