Sailing Serenity: “I have a dream..”

It’s a new year and during MLK Day I pondered the I Have a Dream speech. He is a vety influencual inspiration in my life seconded only to The Savior Jesus. I thought about my long struggles in my life virtually alone. Then I found a church home and gained my life and hope back. I picked myself up finally paid off some debts that were an overwhelming burden. The lord blessed me with good council from a leader named President Russel Nelson. So far, I survived the covid 19 plagued 2020, so thankful. Unlike a worldly selfish president my president teaches me service to- my community as a healing force. In service, I release the pressure to be selfish and give way to selfless-ness. You can always judge a true christian by his service or lack there of. Jesus served us and still serves us. We must prepare a place for Him in our hearts. In this spirit I am helping a friend prepare her boat for bottom painting. It’s hard work and I am volunteering 4 hours every other day grinding old bottom paint off her boat! I’m so excited! I have a dream!

Last months of 2020 we put this sailboat on the hard to repaint the bottom. Also plan to replace the prop, cutlass bearings and inspect thru hulls for leakages. After my second day of work I’m starting to get all the old bottom paint loose starting at the stern on the sailing cruiser. Below is a picture of the work so far.
