Kathy at the helm
Labor Day 2011. Finally got enough of the major chores done to take off for the weekend. The Dalby’s joined us and we sailed from Whitehall Creek down to the Rhode River.
The Rhode is only about 15 miles south of Annapolis, but it’s very different. The shoreline is mostly Smithsonian Center environmental.
The trip down was great, mostly because we were back on the water. All the new parts worked the way they were supposed to. Well, almost. The house batteries were pretty much trash. So new batteries moved way up on the priority list. Good thing we had already bought the new Honda generator!
Rafting with Coram Deo
The Chitterling’s joined us and rafted up for the weekend. A little embarrassing to be seen rafted up with a powerboat, but what are ya’ gonna do?
Of course, we mixed relaxing with checking a few more things off the project list. While tracing some wires, we ended up pulling apart the port settee. Didn’t take much to pull it apart since it turned out to have some serious problems. And the extra hands made it possible to rebuild the whole thing as we put it back together!
Underway at last!
Felt great to be back on the water instead of always at the dock working! Definitely a major milestone in the journey!
