The Annual


Galactic went back into the water this morning.  We're done with another round of annual boatyard maintenance, and the Mothership is looking ready for the upcoming season.

This was the "easy" bout of boatyard maintenance that I've been dreaming of for years now - beyond changing a seacock, I just did the routine tasks this time around.  Still and all, with a day or two of rain thrown in, it took me a week to do everything.  A 45' boat offers a lot of acreage when you're prepping and painting.

And now, the countdown is on for real - eleven days until the school holidays begin, and we're free to untie from the dock and point the bow at Port Davey.
