The marinas here are simply hammered with post-Sandy work and the weather's been pretty crappy for most of the last month. Finally got 'the call' and went yesterday to drive the boat the 20 miles from its winter home to the summer dock. It was great to be out again on my own 'ship' instead of bumming rides as Lin and I have the last few weekends.
Beautiful day and a nice 2 hour ride. Escapade's running great, and she and I did a really good job of getting out of the packed marina, making a tight u-turn and landing at the fuel dock... and backing her into her home slip perfectly despite there being several people at the dock, watching. Hope it's an omen :joyous:
I'll spend the rest of the week loading her up and getting all the systems ready. As luck would have it, we're off to Charlotte, NC next Saturday to visit our daughter for a week. I'm anxious to see her, of course, but it'll eat up 2 boating weekends. Ah, well.
Just glad to be in the water again.
