RESPITE's launch date is set, 2 April. I've started going to West Marine--and other spots--to wander the aisles while planning the pre-launch activities. I could be wrong, but every year at about this time my step quickens a bit. Normally I perform all yard tasks on RESPITE--they won't let me drive the lift althought I would love to--grunt work that you couldn't make me do anywhere else. Yessir, messing around on Cape Dory boats. Nothing finer to my mind.
In fact, I'm going to take tomorrow off and get started before it gets too warm. Yup, six weeks (weekends, really) is more than enough time although I never hurry until I see the lift coming my way.
As for those us you in the great northern climes, keep the home fires burning for a few more weeks.
Every best wish.
