Relaunch in Oriental

At last, our return to cruising at the beginning of October. We relaunched October 7th, with a new bottom job, a replaced nipple on the shaft seal cooling water connection (like I know what I am talking about.) all I know is that "the idiots used brass instead of bronze and it stuck out to far...a disaster waiting to happen". We also had some stays rebedded where a leak had developed and the hull was waxed. Then Rick and Cookie spent 3 days reassembling all the parts that had been disassembled for "hurricaine season." All this took place at Deaton's Yacht Service, lovely, friendly people, and highly recommended.
