Back On The Water Again :-)

 ---------------------------------------------------

Well, after long last, we are back on the water. Back to enjoying those Friday evenings on the boat & dreaming about getting away once the weather warms up a bit.


Going away - what the heck am I talking about? We don't even have the water turned on at the slips yet, so I might be rushing things somewhat.. Still be needing Mother Nature to send us (and the service team at the marina) an indication that we won't see any more freezing temps at night. Something about freezing temps and freezing water lines :-/

 That said, Anchor Girl & I were lucky enough to spend the entire weekend on the boat & I was able to fill our fresh water tank before the boat went in, so we should be good for this upcoming weekend, as well.

 Here's another shot of our, as of yet, very quiet surroundings;

Shrink Wrap Off Boogaboo


This past weekend I took advantage of both three days off and cooperating weather to remove the shrink wrap from the boat and polish the hull sides. Anchor Girl joined me on Saturday to clean the boat and help get Boogaboo ready for relaunch, which happens this Friday :-)

 All in all, I was able to get almost everything done that was needed for the big splash. With any luck, we won't have to deal with the high winds - and snow - that I experienced for last year's launch.

 Here's a video I put together form the weekend's work;
