@kaydoll.bsky.social and I are busy making repairs after our trip to the Bahamas so we can go cruising again! Here, Kay holds up a piece of frayed topping lift we replaced. Our prop shaft coupler that was throwing nuts has been fixed, we replaced the wind instrument, fixed the autopilot, and more.

Playing my guitar and singing Jimmy Buffett and Bob Marley songs while drinking a rum drink on my sailboat off an uninhabited island in the Bahamas. It's been on my bucket list for awhile. #Bahamas #sailboat #rum

It used to be more worthwhile to have a lower paying federal job than a higher paying job in the private sector.
