It's an absolutely glorious day for sailing, here in the no-man's land between Chicago & Milwaukee... Temp has to be 70-something, sunny, nice light breezes to help shake out those winter dustbunnies...

But the Doc says I can't put my wounded foot in lake or river water yet, so I went out & bought a nice African Mahogany board, ripped it into gunnel stock, and then built the mounting posts for the seat in the cedar strip I'm re-building. All with the shop door wide open... no bugs, just birds singing... aaahhh, early spring....

Hey, it's progress. I gotta take my victories in small increments!
