All work and no pay
This week is the the beginning of me being unemployed, but it doesn't feel that way. Instead of working at a library surrounded by books and wonderful co-workers, I am now working long hours (today was a 7am to 10 pm shift) with no pay, and the boss (myself) is rather demanding. Maybe I need to unionize...
Today I ran several errands to gather various materials and supplies.
Then I went to the boat and helped Matt mark the anchor rode so we'll know how much length we've put out when we drop anchor. (We used cable ties - simple but effective.)
I also did a fitting of the partially sewn sail cover for the main sail. Then it was back home to finish sewing the cover, which took me until the evening.
Then I cut out the fabric pieces for the propane tank cover I need to sew.
The photo shows the sail cover in progress. I prefer to sew on the floor to allow all that fabric to slide more easily through the machine. It's always a bit of a wrestling match. I hope I got all the measurements right, I'll find out tomorrow!
