We are whipped but the boats in the water

New record for us - we flew in Friday, spent Saturday doing some shopping and staging then started working on the boat Sunday - Lesley did a major portion of the hull and I did the bottom paint and a few other projects.  My stomach is still tender so any heavy strain creates a problem - I can rely on Lesley to help and that makes a big difference.  This year simple things broke - but due to the logistics of finding parts simple is not simple here.  We fixed the broken parts and we tried again to confirm our launch time - BIG QUESTION AM or PM on Thursday? 

No answer - regardless of who we talked to - Lesley said that we are ready so why not ask if they could launch us today - SHOCK OF ALL SHOCKS they did - we were in the water by 3:30 and moved to Le Phare Bleu shortly thereafter. 

What a shock - all systems go, freezer was at 16 degrees when we left and we are now looking at a nice calm schedule to get things sorted out on the boat.  All of the additional work we did in the spring to get the boat ready for haul out and summer storage paid off - we are back in the water and ready to start loading the material the we shipped from Florida.

Looking forward to hooking up with Greg when he arrives here later this month - party time for sure!
