It is a commonplace that we cannot answer for ourselves before we have been tried.  But it is not so common a reflection, and surely more consoling, that we usually find ourselves a great deal braver and better than we thought.  I believe this is everyone’s experience. . . I wish sincerely, for it would have saved me much trouble, there had been someone to put me in a good heart about life when I was younger; to tell me how dangers are most portentous on a distant sight; and how the good in a man’s spirit will not suffer itself to be overlaid, and rarely or never deserts him in the hour of need.

• Signed up for the next few sailing classes that "certify" me for ocean voyages. It's going to be a fun summer full of sailing! #
• Finished the deck fill replacement project and tested the waste pumpout. It all works! #
• Thanks to my friend David, the starboard fill is installed. Ken will help with port side tomorrow after epoxy sets. Another project done! #
• First time working with epoxy. So far so good. Used the new Dremel to chamfer the openings so the sealant makes a water tight gasket. Woo! #
• Off to enjoy a day of sunshine, drilling out frozen bolts, measuring control cables and installing deck fills. Vacation is beautiful! #
• Had an amazing day working on the boat. Got two deck fills out and ready to be replaced. Going to replace control cables tomorrow. Fun! #
