Friday was my last day at work.........liberating and scary at the same time. Thank you to everyone for the cake, presents and Happy Hour. I very much enjoyed working with all of you, especially the old and current AR Team - you know who you are.

This blog allows you to post comments - would love for you all to keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.

Bill and I have switched places. He spent the week here on the boat, I arrived yesterday and Bill left this morning to head back to the apartment. Bill will come back here on Tuesday. HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY TO MARIAH!!!

We bottom painted yesterday, looks really good, now we need to wash and wax the remainder. Boat should, cross our fingers, go back in the water tomorrow. I am remaining here to do last minute touch-up painting, check off the list of things the Madeline Island Yacht Club guys are supposed to do and take pictures.

If we have a good weather window on Wednesday and work is completed on the boat Bill will "sail" Walk A-Bout to Silver Bay on Wednesday and I will drive over to meet him. I put "sail" in quotes since he will more than likely motor the majority of the way. Much easier when you are single handling to motor than try and mess with the sails by yourself. It should take about 6 hours from Madeline Island to Silver Bay.

Brought my sewing machine up and hope to get some sewing projects done. Right now the boat is a complete mess, with stuff all over the place, we need to utilize every nook and cranny or we will have no where to sit. At this point it looks like we will need to tow a trailer behind us for all our junk!!
