Four years ago, Bonnie pointed out a Hobie 16 sitting neglected in a yard across the street from our Bank. About 6 months ago I found out that it was owned by a good friend of mine's "hording" father (as was the house). My friend decided he wants me to help him restore it (the sails are in great shape) and so we moved it to my back yard last night (Bonnie was elated....NOT!).

Anyway...I'm giving it a once-over and I said to myself, "self, you could set this whole thing up and be sailing in 20 minutes." Kinda makes me want to go try it out (after a lot of hull cleaning, new trampoline, new lines, and a little glass work on the starboard stern).
