That stupid heavy fucking boat.

A good part of today was spent grunting and tugging. Analyse that. My DIY Sunfish sailboat, self designed and weighing in at about 350 pounds. I overbuilt her, and should have used something lighter than spruce for the ribs inside. Plus it had water in it, and is waterlogged. It will make good playground equipment for my yard.

In the middle of my uphill slip muddle a guy, grey haired, walked up and joind me in putting rocks from the beach under greasy Michelin Symmetry's. He was just waiting for Dr. Madigane, his appointment was late and he drove to the shore. At first I felt like telling him to fuck off because I was really cursing and mad at being stuck. I just muttered a bit and ignored him. Then we talked a bit. A rock from under the spinning tire flew out and right by him.

I gave up. Later my cousin's 4 wheel truck pulled the boat out of the way of the slip.
I need a trailer hitch and a trailer. God damn it! Years from now I'll look back on this and not laugh! My next boat is going to be feather lite.
