I've come to realize that I'm really not out here to "relax". I think it's more like being a sport pilot in that beyond sailing, operating the boat and it's systems and even maintenance is really an essential part of what it makes it fun for me. On this trip I ended up buying a half gallon of metal polish and polishing every bit of exterior and interior chrome on the boat. Every Davit, stanchion, grab rail, backing plate, pulpit, helm seat and bimini support, interior galley and head fixture, etc. Next trip I'm planning to bring a Makita and polish out the exterior fiberglass and deck-brite the non-skid.
