The First Real Ride of Spring

The First Real Ride of Spring

Table of Contents

Yesterday was the first real ride of spring. The weather was perfect, and the Todd and I headed north up the coast for a bit, then across the Mayport Ferry, before heading back to Sippers and having some coffee. It was a great ride. I love the winding road once you get past the Zoo and Cruise ship terminals, and Herschel heads out onto blunt island. The views are fantastic, and it stays interesting all the way up to Big Talbot island. Todd is breaking in his brand new shiny bike. It’s pretty nice.

Enjoy the photos!

I miss my old watch cap

I’ve enjoyed knitting off and on for many, many years. The last time I took the hobby seriously was back in 2005. During that time, I knit a really nice watch cap to wear on an Alaska trip. (Unfortunately, the only photo’s I have wearing the old cap are not great.) I wore the watch cap for many years, including the trip from south Florida to north Florida when I purchased my boat…even Florida gets chilly in winter.

My finished watch cap

I finished my new watch cap! Really happy with how it turned out.

I want to learn more. For my next project, I’m going to give cables a try. I found a recommendation for an easy cabled hat. Will post more as it progresses.

Enjoy!

Rigging Repairs

Rigging repairs on the boat are done. Nothing major, I had a short list of items I wanted repaired/replaced. The secondary supports for the port and starboard spreaders, and the running backstays. All done and everything is looking great!

The work was done by Jason of Argonaut Rigging. Great vendor! Highly recommend him.
