We’re back in the water!
We have a ton of work to do before our departure so I’m just posting a few pics for now. Click the pictures for full screen.
We launched Thursday, and since nobody was launching Wednesday afternoon, they put us in the slings early. They lifted us a few inches so we could paint the bottom of the keel:
I’m thankful the paint had several hours to dry because launch day was a mess. A weather front came through, lightning, thunder, driving rain, cold…very nice day. I arrived early and made last minute preparations for our 0900 launch.
And just like our haul out a few months prior…at 1030 we were moving!
The rain was tapering off but it was still wet, cold, and windy, which I assume is why the three people that volunteered to help me didn’t show up! LOL! Fortunately Dave the yard manager and his assistant are exceptional and helped me get my lines tied off.
Our Simrad chart plotter finally quit so we replaced it with a B&G Zeus 3 and WOW! We have only just begun to use it but so far it is amazing! …and it’s touch screen!
…six days…
