Westsail 321: Fish out of water

Fish out of water

Seeing boats in the yard, especially my boat, always makes me feel a bit protective. They look vulnerable and precarious, and it's obvious they'd rather be afloat.
We're having the yard guys do a bit of fiberglass work on the hull - closing up some old holes (from a non-functioning knot meter and an old transducer) and making a new hole for a new transducer - actually a triducer. This will hook up to a display and show us depth, speed through water, and water temperature. That will be quite exciting. Our old depth sounder wasn't very reliable and our knot meter never worked at all.
It's rainy and cold though, so the spots on the hull are from heat lamps to help speed the curing process of the fiberglass work. We hope to get her back in the water in the next day or two.
