Back In The Water (Finally) !

Juli CT; A balmy 43 degrees
Yes, we finally made it through the Southern blizzard and ice storm to arrive at Sadler Point Marina this week and....Lucky Escape is finally back in the water ! We had the hull repainted + bottom + our improved centerboard is installed and painted (see pics in the Photo Gallery) and she is looking lovely as ever. Alas, it will be a while before we go anywhere because we LOVE boat projects and our TO DO list has been renewed.
Our first priority - replace the corroded heat exchanger on our Ford Lehman engine + replace our faulty Dahl fuel filter with a Racor.
We are, though, looking forward to potentially heading to Southern Florida/Bahamas as it is still rather chilly in the Jacksonville area. One of our heating systems appears blocked from dried mud so we are currently depending our space heater, which is keeping us nice and snug.
All I can say is that it is fabulous to be back on the water - and back with the Sadler Point gang ! Not sure why we stayed on land for so long....
