Our cat Envie Rose is a very vocal cat and when she is up in the morning YOU are up in the morning no matter what time it is and we also have 4 geese that come to the boat every morning at the crack of dawn and today was no different, the cat starts meowing, they start squawking, the boatyard starts going, the paper mill blows the whistle and the train sounds the horn....who can sleep? I had to smile this morning as I got my cup of coffee, at the crack of dawn...love the day! We have finished the back deck and the feet of the arch, they had rusted thru the hull and had to be cut out and new metal made and re welded. I am going to prime and paint tomorrow.. That is it for the most important stuff to do before we leave. The rest of the stuff we can do in the islands..yea!
