So it Begins

I went up to Annapolis to look at a 1968 C&C Redwing 30. My plan was possibly to buy it and sail it down to Fl. to resell it, but that changed when I got a look at her. She was in rough shape with little to bad maintenance performed. She had no goodies like electronics or anything electrical working. Well I could go on with all the things wrong, but I will skip that and just say I had a desire to restore her. As the French say, "When it comes to love don't count the cost."
So I have started. I will be asking many questions here I am sure, but for now thought I would share some pictures of two old gals going for a 500 mile ride.

PS. Lost a trailer wheel in the dark on the trip. All 8 lug nuts snapped. Then the next day after fixing up the hub with 8 new not quite right lugs I pulled into a gas station only to have a small electrical fire in the truck. Good times. Good times.
