I guess you work on yachts? I just googled photos of My Cary Ali. Impressive looking beast to someone who knows nothing about yachts.
Yes. I work at a shipyard in South Florida. A subcontractor put Cary Ali under scaffold and shrinkwrap a few months ago so I haven't seen it from the outside in a good while. Your comment made me look it up. I currently only work on large yachts, which, besides looking nice, have more room than recreational boats.
The yard just launched MY Silver Shalis. I had a lot of fun working on that yacht. Great crew. Not my favorite shade of blue, though.

Sounds like exciting work, but I'm sure it's drudgery for you as my 9-5 was to me.

I haven't done it long enough to dislike it yet. Actually, I find doing manual labor rather meditative. I listen to music or podcasts and just work away.

Being able to listen to podcasts while working must be great.

I didn't anticipate it at the time, but it's become one of the great boons of manual labor. I have consumed so much information in the last year
