Day 7 - Tues. June 16, 2009


The boat’s in the water! We had a slow start today because the travel-lift operator had a doctor’s appointment. Once the commissioning process started every thing went smooth until a small leak was found in a thru hull fitting and a small leak was found in a 4”exhaust hose! The thru hull fitting was easily fixed and the 4” hose was temporary patched until a new one can be delivered. We’ll have it installed on our way back north in a few weeks. Other than that every thing went well. The boat is fueled, provisioned and ready to go first thing in the morning! We are off to get some dinner, go to a laundromat, then return and get some shut eye! Tonight will be our first night in the boat.
