First Family Overnighter of the year

Well the boat is back in the water and she floats!

We loaded up late Friday and set sail for Fleets Bay Saturday. Wind and other factors conspired that we didn't make it that far and ended up in Carter Creek.

We did get as far as the White Stone Bridge.


First Draft showed up after experiencing engine problems that were never solved.

After some Grilling and relaxing we spent the night on the hook.



The next day we towed First Draft back to the marina since there was NO wind (it is a GOOD thing we didn't make it to Fleets Bay). Then headed back out for a daysail as the wind had begun to come up.

We pulled Andiamo out of the water to give her a fresh coat of bottom paint.
















The Marina pressure washed her...just a little slime and a few barnacles...















A little scraping , a little sanding,...ok more than just a little!!!

(thanks Dad I owe you big time!!)















Some painting and a new zinc and she is good to go...She will be Green once she gets wet!
