The baby stay repair is finished and all is well once again on board Dream Catcher. The repair was time consuming, but not overly difficult. Still, I'm glad it's behind me.

The attached photo shows the final repair. If you look closely, you can see I am just starting to button the wall back up.

While fixing the boat, we finally decided to bite the bullet and pull the stupid carpet off the walls of both staterooms. I'm not sure what the designer and builder were thinking, but in my opinion, carpet has no place on an ocean going vessel.

We considered several options and in the end decided to try out some industrial strength paint we scored from Lowes in New Bern. I guess time will tell if we've made the right choice, but so far things are looking much better than our previous "furry wall" look.

For those of you who have not seen Get Him to the Greek, you may not understand the furry walls reference, but rest assured no one on board Dream Catcher was riding the "Jeffrey" at anytime during this log entry.

Be safe, it's dumb out there....
