It was nearly 80 deg. today. We are all sitting outside enjoying the weather. There are projects to get completed on the boat, but the conversation goes like this: " I can't decide to rig the hammock up to the jib roller or the stanchion. It I put it on the roller, it will put too much weight on the jib sail. If I mount it lower, it may not be off the deck".
I said "mount it to the main and off the end of the boom. This way you would be over the cockpit". Can't put it there because of the helm. "Then we could fasten to the main above the main roller and to the forward stanchion". But it would be in the sun during the day. Then we are back to mounting it off the main boom.
This conversation took about 15 minutes. We both looked at the boat from a distance of about 100 feet. Neither one of us ever got up to get a closer look. Ultimately, the hammock didn't get put up today, so we just sat in the sun all afternoon, until the temperature got too warm and then we went inside to cool off for a while.
The hammock is on the list to get done someday soon, along with several other projects. They all have do be completed, some day, some way. They will get done, maybe when the weather is a little cooler. (Note from Sharon: This is not for our boat but someone else's at the Marina.)
Meanwhile, I think I'll do a little fishing. Or maybe go sit in the shade, or maybe a ride over to the beach. This sunshine today is just too good to waste working.

Hey, you can't rush these projects. It takes time, especially if it's hot out and beer is involved.
BTW, We were at 88 degrees here in Isle of Hope, Georgia.
