Back In the Water

Well, after an adventerous 10 days, we finally made it back to the water. Among other things, we were hit with the worst storm of the season which made repair work to be quite adventerous.
I will post a separate blog describing allthe repair work performed.

We were launched today, Monday, and made it to Pickering Warf for refuge from the storm.

We will be going back to the mooring here in salem and await the arrival of the Winthrop fleet,
and eventually returning with them on Sunday

Life on the Hard Days 1,2,3

I finally found my camera, and the cell phone connector, so I could start posting again. I find posts with no pictures boring.

Well, on Thursday, 6/11 Buzz came over to Winthrop and we moved Waterdancer to Salem. It was a rolly trip. Rain was predicted, and we had the bimini top on. My expectations of a miserable, wey, rainy trip were not fulfilled though. Except of the rolling, th trip was fine. The wind was about 15 degrees off, so we could not sail.

I should have raised the main to stop the rolling but I was too lazy.

Now, I am sitting on the hard, Danielle is staying with her mother, and has the year end recital. I did not much besides making a big mess inside and out, and waiting to talk to my friend Dmitry and Keith, the yard manager.

There is good amount of work to be done on the keel, I need a new cutlass bearing, and have the autopilot checked out.
