Every year or two, I start thinking of who I can invite to my boat bottom painting party.
Many friends come to mind.
Friends I have done favors for, cruised with, or raced with. Friends who all have this one thing in common, a boat that needs to have its bottom painted. I become very selective though, I only want the ones who follow directions well. You definitely don't want the creative ones who like to reinvent the wheel or tiller so to speak. If you do, you will probably find yourself following them around the boatyard instead of doing what you need to do, and that is to get the job done.
