In the boatyard - again! 11.12.07

We're in the boatyard for our final adjustments - woohoo! Today is Monday and Michael & Chad brought the boat up from Channel Islands Harbor to Ventura Harbor. We're hauling the boat at Anchor's Way Boatyard, where we have been several times before. Today, the masts were removed so they could do some work on them, which proved to be a bit more of a chore than the last time! I guess we've added a lot of 'stuff' to make it more difficult. Tomorrow the boat is pulled out of the water and we'll start that list....bottom painting, etc. It's always a bit hard to watch the boat being pulled out of the water, it makes your heart beat a bit faster until it's set securely. It will get 3 coats of bottom paint, so we're hoping we can get back in the water on Friday, but it may be Monday or Tuesday. We'll see! I'm sure I'll have some pictures to share later in the week, as well as lists of what was worked on... Until then, a nice quote I just recently found.... "Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean" ~~Christopher Reeve
