HONEY... I'M HOME!

 LAUNCH DAY!   YIPPEE
They got me out first in line for the day.  I was back at my marina in about 20 minutes and tied up - high tide - slack tide - no mishaps.  Easy Peasy!  I learned one thing.  Old dog and i got a trick.

Shawn drove the Lift via his wireless game console.  (if he calls in sick, I'm taking over)
The Marina Crew lifts Prodigal, moves the large blocks of wood and Mathew Williams scrapes away the 'residue' so John Williams can apply the bottom paint.  All this while the entire crew looks on and waits patiently.  Then John does some touch up around the entire hull.




Thanks again to Williams Marine and the entire crew of Cracker Boy Marina.

Now the costs:



Ouch!  It aint easy, or cheap to be a Pirate...
