DANGA hides next door and then comes home…
Well, the Summer has arrived and I’ve done very little. After the storm my neighbor kindly stepped up and offered covered storage for DANGA in his garage until I could figure out what to do. I left the boat in his garage (which he carefully protected with a tarp over the entry!) until April. I felt guilty as Hell blocking his access to his stuff in the garage – he’s a gifted tinkered with a number of ingenious inventions, machines, and gadgets. I brought the boat home and found a decent boat cover for it.
The painted hull requried more attention that I had imagined. The paint on the bow was gone, along with the boot stripe, and on the stern around the drain plugs. I repainted and things look acceptable.
Lynn and I took the boat out for a ride around Puget Sound in May and I ran it around the little fresh-water lake to work the motor a bit as well.
