Today started at 0545, preparing the boat for the nerve wracking process of being lifted into the water and having her mast reattached by crane.
The photos show it all happened as planned. And best of all, we got a prime position in the marina on a hammerhead pontoon. The engine started like a dream after sitting for a whole year. All this was done in stinking heat, and many other jobs reattaching the boom, tensioning the stays, and collecting the clean sails which had been couriered to us from the UK.
We are exhausted but happy. Our darling boat is floating again and that makes the world feel like a better place.
Looking very good, must have been quite a relief.
