Bobby and Jenny at the Tapon Bay Yacht Club Condo Holiday Party
Note the removed canvas bimini in the cockpit and the plastic/duct tape portlights (hey, they don't leak!)
Moving on is delayed as the "Star" is getting a makeover. Bobby removed all the old plastic portlights - before the new stainless steel ones were even shipped. This phenomenon caused the weather to change with cold fronts coming through every few days (wind, rain and cooler temperatures), making the conditions rough offshore, so we would not want to head south anyway.
Then due to the economy, we decided to put on a hardtop over the cockpit. Either the fabricators would have no work or they would be backed up through the end of January with work orders for boats wanting to head to the Bahamas after the holidays. Break for us, no work orders, so the aluminum frame was built in a few days, and put on the boat in one day. The day after, the 1/4" fiberglass top was attached. Now, we have a new canvas enclosure being constructed.
Got the new stainless steel portlights just before Christmas Day, so Bobby will have something to keep him busy for the next few weeks.
