(Alaunt with her new white waterline stripe)

After we paid off our Budget Marine bill and the Spice Island Marine Services bill, we were ready to be launched. As we were on the schedule after lunch, Ron did a quick taxi ride to Island Water World in town to purchase a propeller zinc. It didn't fit, so he had to Dremel it (that's a verb) until it went on the propeller shaft just as Alaunt was being put onto the hydraulic sled. The yard staff handed us off to the Travel Lift and before we knew it, we were on aboard and motoring out to Prickly Bay to drop the anchor.

It felt great to be on the water again and we treated ourselves to dinner and beverages at the Tiki Hut that night.
