Revenante is snug as a bug (hopefully all the bugs are deceased) in its winter quarters. Cabin top repairs proceed apace with the first new wood being laid this weekend. Truly comfortable under the tarp, even if one end is still open. Strange coincidences abound. Seems that in the 1930's a crew of my family members sailed from Montreal to Bic in the Lower St. Lawrence. Perhaps not overly remarkable in itself, but they did it in a 40 ft Pinky Schooner! (See the third photo) I look forward to closing that historical circle in the next few years. Talk about "Une Revenante..."!
Our goal is to get a start on the planking before the New Year, get the cabin top closed in, and install a heater so that all the internal cabinetry can begin.
