First Day Out After Rebuild . . .

[tpenfield]

Well since my Formula 242 has been in various stages of dis-assembly and repair since last October with engine and structural work, today was the first day out on the water. Overall a great day, the boat performed OK, but I think there are still few tweaks needed for the engine and fuel system, etc.

We got out early and the bay was very flat due to the offshore breeze. A good day for Boston Whalers !!!

Here are some photos from the day . . .

Just set the anchor not too far off the beach . . .


Enjoying a Breakfast Beer


Nobody at the beach, 'cuz it was a bit nippy and the water is still pretty cold. We usually don't get these sort of days until September . . .


The Admiral and I were discussing the virtues of the brand spanking new Grady-White Freedom 335 that we saw as we were coming out of the harbor


Back at the mooring, and getting ready to row my dinghy back to the dock.


I noticed that all 3 windmills were going over the past couple of days. So, I guess the neighborhood protest lost its battle . . .


We had to cut the day short as we needed to leave early, but it was good to have the boat back together and be out on the water.

Yup, it is an older boat, so it is a real 24' hull and an extra 2 feet for the platform. So, it is 26 feet overall. That extra 2 feet in the interior does make a difference.
