Winding down

By Mike Jastrzebski

Things are winding down here at the yard for us. We’ve been doing odds and ends work, splicing some ropes, making sure everything can be latched down properly, etc. We’ve been doing this all in anticipation of getting out of the yard.

We were tentatively scheduled to go into the water on Friday afternoon, but alas, the shaft and collar were still not ready. Danny, the guy who is doing the work, assures we’ll be ready to go in Tuesday so we rescheduled to be the last lift on Tuesday. We’ll see what happens.

The kitty is being seriously drained by this stay in the yard and time is running out if we still want to get to the Bahamas. If we can’t get on our way by June 1st I think we’ll just head north for the summer. The fact that a tropical storm has already formed off the Carolinas makes us wonder if we shouldn’t just head North and save the Bahamas for the fall.

Hopefully our next blog will be from somewhere other than the yard.
