Boatnik lives!

 
 
We both wished we had taken a before picture with the primer gray hull. Boatnik looked pretty sad just two weeks ago, but Captain Chuck has been rendering tender ministrations through rain and blistering sun. The hard work is almost complete. Launch date is in two days. Captain and crew are ready to sail!

There were 81 Blackwatch sailboats made in Amarillo, Texas of all places. Boatnik is #40. Only six are scheduled to show up at the gathering on Lake Hefner in OKC. You can see why we have to made a good showing.

You need to post a pic of the inside. It looks all new and pretty too!

We will do that, Kelsey. There will be more pics on our return. Stay tuned! Oh, and speaking of the heat, the truck has no a/c. Gack!
