Back to St. Augie's for January

We finally got the nod from the insurance company to forge ahead with PRIM's nose job. We assembled the requisite estimates, then visited the yards to see their facilities and work. I was most impressed with St. Augustine Marine Center and their estimate was complete and very competitive. Boats is familiar with their work and said they agreed with my choice. They will get the paperwork done ASAP so we can start Jan 1 and hopefully be back in the water by Feb 1.
Now all I have to do is find a place for Pokey, the boyz and I to rent for the month that is reasonably close enough to the yard. Six months of living aboard plus 1100 miles of ICW travel, marinas and anchorages are beginning to show on our beautiful PRIM. This a good opportunity to get the brightwork back in line, apply lots of elbow grease to the topsides and generally spruce things up while Pokey works on taxes (believe me, I got the better part of that deal).
Of course, high season for snowbird rentals starts Jan 1. My usual good timing... great.
