another week down, and the sailing season approaching. the storms that have buried points north have done little down here, much to my relief. it's still cold, though. work progresses on the boat. i'm not sitting up here doing nothing. not at work, anyway. life in the crew house is quiet. i don't get out except when my coworkers decide to go somewhere. too cold for bike riding, really. that will change soon. i'd like to spend sometime exploring what's around here. soon, i think.
