I would suggest that you over bore the stantion bolt holes, fill with epoxy, re-drill them and add paint--now is the time to do it and the overboring will guarantee that your covering board will outlive you. Good luck. She's looking great! David Ben,

I did have the pleasure of meeting Mike Firestone.. he did the survey! We talked about Calypso, and all things BCC over dinner and had a great time. Pat & Arthur, Thanks for the good wishes. When you make it out this way again, let's try to plan a sail. Nica,

Pat & Arthur,

Thanks for the good wishes. When you make it out this way again, let’s try to plan a sail.

Seems the "incubation" is going along well. She becomes more and more beautiful with each loving step. I only wish my father was still here so he could be watching the progress along with me. He taught me many years ago in my youth that a love affair with a boat will teach some fundamental life lessons. And I can "hear in your voice" that this is, indeed, a love affair. We wish you clear skies, low seas and gentle winds...... A&P Ben~

Now I am curious as to what her name was before she was yours (maybe you kept it?) as we came from Texas as well (as did Calypso) Where in TX did you get her? And did you ever meet Mike Firestone, BCC surveyor (surveyor period) extraordinaire? Many best wishes for good weather to "finish" (hah) her up and get her sailing. That is, after all, why you have her! See you on the water at some point, I hope! Nica Ben-
