Sad to report that we drug the lures through the whole trip so far and only a few scars on the lures to show for it. Not even enough to make the reels sing. We will keep trying tho.

Christine prepared for battle.

Wayne’s battle geared up too. The rain showers are cold.

Splash

We are in the water. Another long day if waiting. It is amazing.

7 months and the hours before the boat is to go in the water everyone shows up to complete/start the work projects that were requested oh so long ago.

Wash and wax guys were working all day. Wood guy who made an awesome table came by to finish the latches. The table was installed Friday evening so the canvas guy didn’t have time to make a cover. I’m all about procrastination but that’s a lot of hassle for trying to splash and leave here.

Beautiful morning

Great to wake up to the sounds of the waves and the chirping of the frogs and the sun coming up over the hills lighting the bay. Gathering our stuff to go to breakfast and to check out of the hotel shortly afterwards.

Thinking about walking to the yard instead of getting a ride. It’s only 1/2 a mile as a crow flies but a bit more than that since the path follows the shoreline.

Little sore from yesterday’s work.

Today hopefully we will get put in the water and fire up the engines. Then think about some provisions, beer and such. Hoist the jib, the easiest sail to put on. Saved that for when we are on the water to get a cool breeze.
