One week to water!!

We got the weekend off to a good start with a stop off at Phil's favorite store: West Marine! We had to pick up a few random supplies (crew knives, inclinometer, multi-tool), as well as the new chain that Phil had ordered.

Typically Phil and Dustin are not so keen to shop, but out front the West Marine they are looking pretty excited!

The weight of 250 ft of chain adds up pretty quickly! But now we will be able to anchor in 50 ft of water!!!

After that we got to work on our tasks. Yolande worked with diligence of her wax-on/wax-off routine, and she also developed novel methods for keeping the hair out of your mouth on windy days while covered in wax!! Good work, the boat is shining like new!!

Rochelle did some work under-deck scrubbing and cleaning out the cupboards and surfaces to get things fresh before loading up provisions that will be needed for the new season.

Fresh and clean!!

We are feeling pretty ready, the majority of things that needed to be accomplished while on land are done, and the boat scheduled to go into the water next week.......wooooohooooo!!
