The Latest


Here's a quick update just to get you up to speed on life on the S/V Thin Line...


First off, we are currently located at the Marathon Boat Yard to get a little warranty work on the paint job. The non-skid that was recently applied to the decks just wasn't very non-skiddy, and had to go. You can see us there in the middle in this cool aerial pic. ~~~~>

The dog has been enjoying his boatyard experience and being able to get off the boat anytime he wants to hit dry land...perhaps, a little too much.  We've had to take precautions so Janus doesn't use his new found freedom to ditch us in the middle of the night.

We've had a pretty good time in the yard as well.
We've had parties and cook outs complete with corn-hole matches...try that on a boat!
A variety of friends have come to visit and we've been fortunate enough to have a chef as a neighbor, so many good meals have been cooked, served, and shared.

[And the AC at night is nothing to complain about either!]





In the meantime, the dinghy has gone through a major rehabilitation with lots of sanding, removal of rotten wood, new fiberglass, and a new color scheme.
Rotten wood removed out of corner.
It's practically bullet-proof now!
A lot of sanding...

We should be out of the boatyard with any luck on August the first and, weather/temperature pending, either back on the mooring ball or at the seawall at City Marina.

And we hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July!
