Spring might be close!


With March just around the corner, the southerly winds have begun to blow. Bringing warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. The air will mix with fronts from the north and our Spring time storm season will begin. In the meantime, its those days before the the thunderstorms that provide a brief respite from the cold winter days. Yesterday was one of those perfect spring type days. Not too much wind, lots of sunshine, and perfect skies.


Yesterday I ventured out the sailing club with the cargo area on the 4Runner filled with sails. As you know from previous posts, I completely reworked the boom. Painting the outside and rebuilding the internal wire to rope halyards. Its better than new.
Bella Luna is now ready to sail. All we need is another perfect warm Spring day. We'll fire up the engine, hoist the sails, and enjoy the day.

Spring in Arkansas is the best! I know you will enjoy sailing soon.
Send pictures of all the beautiful trees when they bloom.
