Karin had come down Saturday to help out while I was working on Artful's bottom. She helped put on the bottom paint after I had sanded the complete bottom the day before.

We took a picture of her in front of the average fishing boat here, just to give you an idea of there size.

Here is Karin enjoying a sunny day on the forward deck, guiding me to drop anchor.

And here is butch, doing something he is good at resting.

Since returning from Feremuse and doing the boats bottom, have been meeting with more passing sail boats through St John's harbour. There was a Deer Foot boat 68 foot in length, a very beautiful sailboat. This boat was very bright inside with very light fixtures. Mark the Captain on the vessel, had brought the boat from the east coast of the US waiting for the owner who was arriving in a few weeks to sail the southern shores of Newfoundland. With helping Mark out with repairs to some of his gear and getting supplies, he asked if Karin and I would let him cook us a dinner in repayment for our generosity towards him. The dinner was really great, and both I and Karin learned a lot from Mark about sailing the Caribbean.

This was just one visit we've had of late with passing sailors, we've had many others.

The most exciting one is still to come, as there will be a family, father, mother and there two young daughters arriving in about two weeks to also spend the winter here. They live aboard a 30 foot sailboat. I've put their site on my favorite list check it out.
