Screwing around

Today was essentially a goof off day. I mean I did a couple things at the boat, but they were strictly for fun. First, I finished the whipping on my steering wheel. I varnished it with clear coat to add durability. Hope it comes out ok. But if not, the cordage was three rolls of clothes line from the dollar store. 
I also figured out how to hang the travel hammock I got. The straps are meant to protect a tree trunk so I figured they'd be good for my roller furling jib stay. The only issue was that when just high enough for me to step over the hammock, my butt dragged a bit. So I shortened the tethers and was able to just barely get into the hammock. I think I need to cinch it shorter still and hang it lower then. 
I brought my boat buddy, Ginger, who was content to rest most of the time. Except when I went below for a lunch break. Then she was right up to check me out.
