Sadly, Bo had to head home today. I cannot believe how fast our time together flew by. We covered a fair bit of ground and Bo was awesome in helping me install the new heads. No, change that thought, Bo didn’t help me, he pretty much did it all himself while I hobbled around the boat like a 90 year old, not much good for anything except to pass him parts and tools. I hope that I get the chance to return the favour, my friend. By the way, I’ll be sailing to the Chesapeake next summer, wanna join me for a week? I was also thinking about upgrading Ananda’s plumbing about that time (just kidding). Next year, it’s all serious sailing—I promise!

After Bo left Steve and I worked on installing the new dingy davits. My back was still pretty sore but codeine is a wonderful drug! Steve cooked supper and texted his boss back in British Columbia that he was working pretty hard on his “supposed-to-be” vacation. Steve lives in Golden, BC which is about 3 hours’ drive west of Calgary. Steve is a top notch automotive and diesel mechanic and an absolutely awesome Dad to his 4 year old daughter Zoe. Steve is on vacation so I wouldn’t dream of asking him to do any work on the boat ;-). After supper Steve walked over to the local beach where a fellow was working on some incredible sand sculptures.
