Love that color scheme! Congrats!
I assume it has a 351? Just wondering if some of the rarity could be a 454 in a Ski? |

Donald, I'd have to say that the girls CQ dates don't live at home and may not even have their fathers around anymore!  (FYI, I don't feel there's anything wrong with older women.)

After the 1100 km journey yesterday, The girl is now home.
Only needed two new tires installed after blowouts. took my 12-hour journey to 18 hours. Got home very late, and then proceeded to rip the tarp upon install. Kicking myself on that one I tell ya. Now I need a new tarp. Any suggestions? Expensive mistake, I suspect it was old and very weak. Or I was an idiot.... Oh, Yah, that would be the world's largest Pysanka in the background. Can't drive by that without a photo. |

Well I had to look up what a Pysanka was, now I know. In the first picture it looked like it was hovering over your boat.
Glad the blowouts didn't cause any bad situations. Now the fun begins! |

We have a lot of free time on our hands in Alberta. Check out the atlas of Obscura on the man-made wonders of Alberta.

Was the tarp made to be towable? Very few are and as many have found out, a tarp that isn't for towing flops around on the boat and does more damage than good. Call Angola canvas |

I actually ripped it putting it on when I got home. Doing it in the dark and tired. And the tarp could cover an elephant. Couldn't find the front, etc..Should have waited....

So I am taking the boat into Shalom park, aka Matrix Marine,aka Ken Nelson
It has been 31 years since this boat has been back to where it started Ken is going to install a proper glass wind screen for me and toss the hazed plexiglass screen into the dumpster. Then she gets fitted for a new cover. Lots of work to do getting her running again. All drain plugs are missing so I will need those. Fuel needs to be drained as it is very very skank. Two new batteries are on the list also. I am not sure if I can even bring back the black hull to it's intended glory. The hull has not been polished in 20 years. Oil needs to be changed, and then naturally everything else that can and will surprise me. Ice should be off the lake in three weeks. Here's hoping... here is a link to Shalom Park. what an amazing facility: http://www.shalompark.com/ |

20 years is nothing! Members have brought back 50 year glass better than it looked from the factory. A good wet sand and buff will do it. NO PAINTING!!!

Congratulations (from a former Albertan) on the new boat - I really like the colours!
The hull of my martinique was heavily oxidized. sanding with 600, 800 then 1500 finishing with 3M heavy duty compound brought it back; you'll be surprised whats hidden under that oxidization!
