Leif has almost finished the stern swim step, it looks like it belongs there, and now the boat is out of the water in the shipyard for bottom paint. The weather didn't cooperate while he was working, varying from 111 degrees to the current rain and wind, which creates problems when trying to sand fiberglass and gel coat. As we say, it's always something.
We plan on moving aboard in 10 days so things are becoming more organized and the stacks of "stuff" to be brought aboard are growing. Hope the boat won't sink under the weight...
The going away parties were very fun, yet I'm ready to settle down and get started arranging and ferrying items down to the dock. Hopefully the weather wont' slow the bottom paint job, but it probably will as it's supposed to rain for the next day or so. Not to be negative but I do feel pressure to get on with it! Off to Trader Joes for more supplies, like dog food for 9 months! I'm going to miss them for sure. Casey, our lab is my constant companion, while Woody is my goofy one. They wouldn't do well on the boat though, and are going to be well taken care of, happily at home.
