I was the one who wanted to move out farther, more rural. Out where there are dead spots for cell phones.  I sure paid for it in the last twenty-four hours.  I have been up all night trying to fix my telephone line; the rains found every little crack and water got in.

It was Ronald's day off, but since he just got that little San Juan 21', he has been out there messing with it.  (Yes, I will post pictures, as soon as I fix the phones and the damn rains stop.)

He would have helped more, but originally I had been told that the whole line was out.  So he puttered around with his new/old sailboat.

Come to find out it was from the box into the house.  So I have a cheater in, and will have to run real lines later today.  I am sure he will help me with that, since I have an absolute terror of going up the attic ladder, and all the lines are up there.   (And the raccoon who fell through our ceiling makes me a little worried about wildlife in the attic as well.)

I have a real fear of having no 911, and having no way for my mom or kids to call me other than a cellphone.  Out here, cellphone reception is spotty.  At least I have had our satellite internet over the last 24. 

I don't have my pictures up of the beautiful redfish I caught yesterday, but I will soon.  I admit that I don't catch many, usually because I don't have a way to get to where they are.  But yesterday, Ron and I went out on the sailboat (which has finally been repaired after the accident we were in).  He wanted to try sculling, a type of rowing with one oar.  (He made the oar himself; it turned out wonderful and I will be posting a picture of it as well.)

I wanted to fish, like always.  It was sort of funny, once I caught that nice redfish, he suddenly wanted to fish too...

He didn't catch any redfish, but we hit a whole school of nice sandtrout.  We caught several in the 15-16" range, which is a pretty good size for sandtrout.  In about one hour, we caught over 30 fish, a combination of sandtrout and croakers.  (Mostly trout.)  Out of those, we kept around 20. 

Tonight we will be having fish and chips....just as soon as Ron gets back with the lemon juice.

I am beginning to really love his little Luger...

I recently received an email from Joanie, who runs The Luger Sailboat Mooring.  She had tried to comment, but since I shut down anonymous comments due to spammers, she emailed me. 

Before Ron and I bought the little sailboat, we researched Lugers, and her site was the first that came up.  It has a good deal of information about them, including plans for some models, and the names of others.

Luger sold both powerboat kits and sailboat kits.  Our Southwind was either stripped of some of it's interior parts, or was never completed.  The pictures on her site and others have helped us decide how to fix the interior (which is extremely in need of repair). 

So if you are interested in Lugers, The Luger Sailboat Mooring is a good place to go.
