The dogs waited patiently under a nearby boat getting up only to bark at the occasional visitor.

Zeen, of course, had to have her ball. It was Zoe's birthday and she decided to lounge in bed all day.

There's still work to be done before she's launched. The outboard has to be checked and tuned.

The sails need a good scrubbing.

There's minor cleaning and touching up that we'll do.

It's a lot of work if a boat is to be kept in good condition. We've always made it a point to do just that.

Our new boat will be no exception.
