We moved the boat on 6/1 to Peake's for hauling for the hurricane season. I was tending the port side and had to throw the line rather a long distance when instructed to by the dock worker. When he said ok, I let it loose with all my strength. He caught it and said, "Yes! That's what I'm talking about!" I was relieved. The sail is done! We made it to our destination.
Bob and Abby left after the boat had been hauled. Bob used his phone to take these shots:
Ralph and I spent the next week cleaning the boat and sweating like crazy in the June humidity. Rainy season is here, but the rain does not refresh - it just makes the concrete more steamy! We left Inspiration in the secure boatyard under the care of a local man who is going to complete some cleaning chores and come by to inspect it on a regular basis in the upcoming months.
We drank lots of champagne on the first class trip back home on my birthday!
