I’m back in Beaufort on Flutterby, on the hard at Bock Marine, our “home” boatyard.
Meps is on the road in Spokane, making her way here slowly.
I just counted 92 items on the boat todo list.
Some are simple: “Re-install bow cleats.”
Some are a bit more involved: “Design rig: Size, shape, battens, yard, attachments.”
Many depend upon other items not yet completed.
Some will require Meps’ hands to assist me, or mine to assist her.
Some probably won’t be finished before we go cruising.
Many must be finished before we can go cruising.
Some may not be finished while we own Flutterby.
Some things need to be done and didn’t even make it onto the list yet. If I do one, I may add it just so I can cross it off.
Yesterday I screwed up two pieces of trim in the V-berth. It wasn’t on the list and only took about five minutes.
Today I didn’t do anything at all on the boat.
Tonight I’m just feeling overwhelmed.
Tomorrow I’ll pick one. I wonder whether I’ll finish it or not.
Hi Barry.
Well, you know what they say: one task at a time (well, that’s not what they say, exactly, but close!).
I am a HUGE fan of doing something that’s not on the list then adding it and crossing it off. It gives me a lot of satisfaction and feelings of self-worth. So go for it!
Enjoy that beautiful North Carolina fall.
