Well done T Cat, she looks great!!

I was doing the exact same thing yesterday. The boat got a thorough (and badly needed) wash job, I ran the outboard, and waxed one side of the hull, plus the transom. Sadly, I ran out of daylight before I could finish the wax job.

Gene. I just watched your Catalina 22 cruise, SW Florida, New Year's 2017. Thanks for posting. I envy you, such a beautiful area to sail.

Thanks man, I'm glad you liked it! We had an absolute blast. The whole coastline there is the western shore of the Everglades National Park, which is the largest wilderness east of the Mississippi, I'm told. No towns, no marinas, no cellphone reception, no nuthin. The only human being we spoke to for a week was a fish and game cop who stopped by while we were waiting out the weather in Oyster Bay, to ask if we were okay. "We don't see many sailboats up in here!" he said. :)
