Visit to the Royal River Boatyard

Jana & I drove up to the Royal River last week for a few days, to see how Pavane looked and to start getting her ready for the water. A friend offered us the use of his summer house at Goose Rocks Beach, so we turned it into a short working vacation. We were extremely lucky with the weather, so got everything done and got some sun into the bargain.
Pavane is looking good. It won't take much work to get her ready to sail away. Current plan is to drive back up there on Thursday, June 23 and go aboard on Friday. We'll probably set sail a few days after that and plan to head without delay to Boothbay Harbor and places East.

Hi, friends.
I have just signed up with Sail-Blog and this is my first try at creating a blog post. Our plan is to use Sail-Blog to "share" our cruise with friends.
Right now, Pavane is still on dry land in the Royal River Boat Yard, just north of Portland, Maine.
Jana & I are heading up to Portland (by car) next week to make arrangements to launch her by the end of June.
