So this is what she looks like after the "bottom job". We had her hauled out on a Tuesday morning and put her back in the water that Friday afternoon. After a thorough house cleaning we're back aboard and proud of our clean home. Now we're waiting for a fuel truck to deliver about 200 gallons of diesel. (Ordinarily, we would pull up to a marina fuel station to take on fuel but at this marina they bring in a fuel truck to the parking lot and deliver the fuel from there. It's significantly cheaper than marina prices.) I've assembled at least three other boats who need fuel--the more he sells the cheaper the price.
Then we're ready to hit the high seas and do some cruising around the area. We want to visit some of the off-shore reefs for some snorkeling and spend a few nights "on the hook" as we visit some of the beautiful anchorages around here . Diane's sister is arriving Thursday for a week and we're looking forward to that visit and showing her around the area. Maybe we'll even get in some fishing.
Here's a picture (below) of the dock gang waiting to help us tie up after resplashing her. The picture is taken from the boat yard where the work was done. As you can see it's right across the water from our berth at the marina ---only 100 yards away---very convenient.
(Every time I adjust one 0f the pictures the blog site moves it to a different location . That's why they seem to be out of order. I'll get it figured out eventually)
