The happy Astraea family in the cockpit
I’ll continue the story as we’re sailing back to Pier 32 Marina. I saw a very familiar destroyer heading out the channel, USS Momsen, my last ship. I called them on the VHF radio to wish them a safe voyage home after deployment.
See you later Momsen!
When Mom and Dad came to visit they wanted to hang out with us and help with boat projects. Free labor is not a problem with me, so I gladly put them to work putting plugs in the window trim and stripping varnish.
Mom and Koku supervising Dad at work. Kind of like PennDOT.
They got all the plugs installed in the window trim, sanded down and stripped all the varnish from the entire cockpit. It’s amazing how good Astraea looks with those projects completed. Now all I need to do is bleach the stripped wood and put down fresh varnish.
Don’t think that all we did was work on boat projects! There was still plenty of time for baby cuddling and Grandson loving!
Sullivan helped me with my wiring projects by keeping track of my tools
Three generations in the cockpit
Sullivan showed us how tall he’s getting
And took some really good naps
While Pappy was getting a backache working on the boat
And the best medicine for that is Sullivan time with Pappy and Nana Kraft
