It is almost worth living on the boat full time just to avoid the pain of haul out. The credit card gets thrashed, backs get strained and nerves get shredded but it is all part of the process. To be honest, a lot of good things get done, some of which we have been avoiding all season, so we will start the next sailing season in good shape but it has been a tough week. At least it should be cooler when we go back in the water in November. One more day in the yard getting things in order then we will fly to Florida, pick up the car in Georgia and drive home via New York. We are looking forward to being back in New England but this actually feels like leaving home as Leela really has been a fabulous home fore the past four months.
I will throw up a few more technical blogs once we are settled in.
