we finally did it. at around 17:00 i ran into Jeff and we walked over to the yard together, jmust in time to help Ross putting the Peregrine into the water and scootch Lotus onto the railway car and pull her up.
i soent the next hour and a half pressurewashing her bottom... few oysters, some slimy things, not too much real hardcore growth, even after 4 years...
i found some quiet fuzzy wood on the starboard aft end. hmmm
real assessment and photos in daylight tomorrow. Sushe will come out and be my lovely assistant for the day, hopefully i'll have more crew show up and get her ready to be splashed by Sunday. i'd love to get the topsides painted in the yard as well, at least sanded and primed...
adventure mate out for now (catching Zs)
the other crazy idea
the last ocean, the unknown territory (or so we white landlubbers think) - we're thinking of the northwest passage. learning about the culture there and showing our son the ice before it melts and that place forever changes ... we just need a boat!
the crazy idea
there will be a land adventure in the not too far future, and it looks like it will involve this big old wall. walking the length of it, from the desert to the sea, and hopefully catching a sailboat ride back home. or starting at the sea and catching a train back to europe? in 2015? - well, we might settle for Hadrian's wall in the UK first... to practice... and something more local and equaly gorgeous right here in the US...
