November 5, 2010 Progress Report

The boatyard has completed the repairs.  Today we will ask them to email their final invoice so that we can have a week to digest the information.   Our plan is to go up next Thursday with a one-way SUV rental packed with charts, tools, new dock lines, fenders, and bedding.  Rusty made a fender board and we'll take that along as well.

The boat will have been splashed by the time we get there and the final checks for seaworthiness will have been completed.  We'll stay on board Friday night and start our homeward journey Saturday morning.  It is expected that we will make about 70 miles each day.  Our broker and his wife will join us until we feel comfortable to continue the journey on our own. They will review navigation and boat maintenance with us along the way.  It's a very nice feature of his brokerage service and it is complimentary.
