The End of February

This will be one of those rare Friday nights we spend at home!  It is supposed to be close to freezing tonight and might even snow (hasn't snowed at sea level here since 1976!) so we decided to stay home and maybe do some house cleaning and laundry and exciting stuff like that versus burn a bunch of diesel trying to keep the boat warm.  I'm sure we'll head over to the boat tomorrow.  We have a couple of small project we want to knock out (mounting our USCG documentation number board is one) that will provide opportunities for more blood and gore aboard Pineapple Girl II.

I forgot to mention that the harbormaster at Treasure Island last weekend asked if we knew a particular person from Coyote Point.  The person he asked about just so happened to be the fellow that bought the original Pineapple Girl from us.  Another interesting coincidence that weekend was that the original Ada Helen is berthed at TI!  Our good friend Joe, pictured a couple of posts down, has owned three Catalinas of increasing size, all named Ada Helen for his mom.  He thought the original Ada Helen (a 27) was still in the Bay Area but he did not know where.  Ada Helen II (a 36) is now owned by one of Matt's brothers and is called Seabiscuit and Joe still has Ada Helen III (a 42) and is the slip across from us at Coyote Point.  The boating world can be even smaller than the "regular" world!
