We are in the water. Another long day if waiting. It is amazing.

7 months and the hours before the boat is to go in the water everyone shows up to complete/start the work projects that were requested oh so long ago.

Wash and wax guys were working all day. Wood guy who made an awesome table came by to finish the latches. The table was installed Friday evening so the canvas guy didn’t have time to make a cover. I’m all about procrastination but that’s a lot of hassle for trying to splash and leave here.

Great to wake up to the sounds of the waves and the chirping of the frogs and the sun coming up over the hills lighting the bay. Gathering our stuff to go to breakfast and to check out of the hotel shortly afterwards.

Thinking about walking to the yard instead of getting a ride. It’s only 1/2 a mile as a crow flies but a bit more than that since the path follows the shoreline.

Little sore from yesterday’s work.

Today hopefully we will get put in the water and fire up the engines. Then think about some provisions, beer and such. Hoist the jib, the easiest sail to put on. Saved that for when we are on the water to get a cool breeze.

Well.

Someone might have been cut off in first class on the way here, but if I don’t remember it does it really count?

Up early listening to the waves breaking on the beach. The rest of the crew still sleeping. Wrong light switch. Accidentally woke em up but easily back to sleep. 2 hours later and its time for breakfast. La Sagess made us an excellent meal and then shuttled us over to the boat yard where the Shack was waiting to be loved on and adored.

Sugar Shack was nicely clean and the fresh cockpit table is awesome. Needs a small hole drilled in the base to let water swap out but very happy with the work that was done.

Big work day between the beers. 10 hours of labor and the shack is about ready to go in the water. Hopefully tomorrow.

Accomplished:

• main sail up
• dingy engine mounted and fired up
• interior washed
• exterior washed
• anchor reloaded
• beers consumed
• lunch skipped
• wifi raised

All in all a long slow productive day. Now to find out about what time. They will splash us in the water to coordinate a provisions run.
