The Wish List

A lot of folks keep asking me what's left on the "to-do" list. Basically, there are just a few to-dos that need to happen prior to the trip down to Florida and I had recently mentioned most of them in a previous post. But of course, there are a ton of "love to haves" and that falls into a completely different category...the Wish List.

Now, the Wish List is a whole other animal and I thought I would run down a few items I had jotted down the other night. This exercise, I admit, is a bit depressing as the cost of all these wonderful wishes would certainly make most folks cringe. But it was good to see where my head was and if nothing else, I can prioritize a bit and maybe get through a few of them a little at a time. So in no particular order, here is the official "Wish List" for the sailing vessel Skylark...

Mast Head Wind Vane
Mast Head Main Halyard Pulley
Main Halyard (switching from cable to rope)

So there you have it. If you know anyone who is looking to give away money for no particular reason, please let me know. In the mean time, I will continue with my plans to win the lottery.
