That’s the princesses’ resolutions. To not kiss frogs. Or at least this frog.It's not to kiss more princesses?

Those bikinis can add a lot of extra weight. Food for thought.Every spring on both BlueJ and Kestrel, EVERYTHING comes off the boat and onto the dock. Everything. Then only what we want/need goes back on. Its a pain but it saves up hundreds of pounds.
Is that because you have been kissed by too many princesses in the past?Or at least this frog.

I've weighed a dozen of Jodi's, all together less than a pound. #WorthTheWeightThose bikinis can add a lot of extra weight. Food for thought.
Cruising tip of 2018:lot of extra weight. Food for thought.
Nice graphic. I wish we had those pylons: would make my backing up easier and probably adds additional protection. I'm always anxious about my slip neighbor's tilted outboard sticking out.@Justin_NSA I find it most difficult if there is a strong cross-breeze at the slip. The nose keeps wanting to turn and you don't have enough speed to keep way. A spring-line attached at a mid-ship cleat can help a lot with that if you find a cross wind is giving you fits. I sometimes set one up on my shroud's chain plate before I enter the marina and sail up to and slightly past the "windward" pylon of my slip, then run the line around the pylon and take it back to the cockpit and wrap it around the transom cleat. Put the motor in reverse and using the spring line I can get the stern turned into the slip and keep the nose pointed out. This also works well if you get some help from a neighbor on the dock.
If it is a really strong breeze, you may need to attach the line at the bow instead of mid-ship to give a little more leverage.

Oh well.... sorry it was not helpful. Is there a large cleat at the end of your finger pier that you could snag with a spring line? Might work the same way.Nice graphic.

and be very wary of what (and I'll choose my words very carefully here) reproduction hardware the neighbourhood boats have on board. Or rather, how big the lenses are that are mounted.5. Benefits of flying bikini tops from spreaders. (Note to self. This may take a lot of trials. Need to carefully select crew)
At some point its easier if you just don't care. Consider it part of the 'Make America Beautiful' program. Or Canada.and be very wary of what (and I'll choose my words very carefully here) reproduction hardware the neighbourhood boats have on board. Or rather, how big the lenses are that are mounted.
Oh nevermind.
Maybe I should have suggested, "Kiss YOUR princess more."That’s the princesses’ resolutions. To not kiss frogs. Or at least this frog.
My quip is "I'm V&V!!! It's a good day!"Staying VERTICAL
