Today I spent the day unloading Exit. There were very many random things, as you can see from this picture:
Everything (and we mean everything) unloaded into the Lyman-Morse rigging shed.
Here are my top 3 favorites:

Today, I made a short-term pet crab named “Crabby.” He didn’t move much, but yes, he was alive. I made a temporary home for him in Elsa’s shoe. He liked it there and immediately nested in the toe. I pretended to dump him in the water but secretly kept him in. After a close inspection, Elsa correctly determined that Crabby was still in the toe. After that, I chased her with him, and she ran screaming. After that, I really did dump him in the ocean. Thus ends this chapter in the life of Crabby Williams.

While the boat was at Lyman-Morse over the winter, we decided to tackle some big jobs: blasting the topsides and deck down to bare aluminum; repainting the coachroof, cockpit, transom, and other “verticals” (mast, arch, stanchions); replacing the non-skid; and some high-priority items recommended by the surveyor (isolation transformer, fire supression system in the engine compartment, failed sheave in the steering quadrant). Here are some shots from the work in-progress:
After 10+ years at Apple, I left at the end of April. That weekend we did a major cull to clean out the house, sold a bunch of stuff as a part of the Mountain View city-wide garage sale, and gave the rest of it to Goodwill.
