3 little Mantas sitting in a row

Karen and Duane on Sojourn invited us to join them and Kathy and Ed on What If at their dock in Oriental NC.  Those two boats sure look good.

Sojourn is a Manta 40, What If is a Manta 38 and then Charm is a Manta 42.  There are differences between the boats but so many things that are alike, it is nice to compare them on the dock side by side.

Everyone had projects to do on their boats, Cathy and Ed had sails to put on

Duane and Karen were making sail batten pocket reinforcements

We had a small leak on the dinghy so we had to take the engine off, take the dingy to the shore, fill and fix.  Hopefully it all taken care of.

While the boat was land it made sense to clean the bottom, sure can tell the difference.
