Set Sail

Hopefully today will be the day.  All the stars are in alignment and it is time to take the Sovereign out on the high seas to hoist the sails.  Ah, a gentle breeze doing it's magic.  The lake is rising a tenth of an inch per day.  Last year Kadizzle pounded a yard stick into the mud to check the lake level.  The water has creeped halfway up the yard stick.  The lake is at 1844.4 above mean seal level.  Everyone likes to speculate how high the lake will go.  It can only go to 1854 then the water goes over the spillway.  Kadizzle predicts 1848 for sure.  The mountains are packed with snow and it should really start to melt toward the end of June.

Yesterday we Stroupini's boat launched.  It is a nice little boat that could use some maintenance on the woodwork. Another fella is up there trying to restore Matilda.  Matilda looks just like you would expect.  An old run down Russian baking woman.  However, Matilda is making a good come back.  Some of the previous owners did some stupid things and reversing them is no easy task.

Doing the migrations of crap from camper to home to boat is an endless task. Where is the kerflumple?  Is it in the basement, on the boat or in the camper? When you need a keflumple and you don't have one it is a disaster.
