Chris – The Bad Bird

Ed – Steady Eddie

Catherine – The Admiral

Thank you so much Chris and Ed for helping me out and sharing this adventure with me. And, of course, thank you Catherine for being a very big part of it too. Our first of many adventures together in our “new” little trawler!

Over the next few weeks I will be doing odds and ends with the boat to get her ready for haul out and winterizing. I have a fairly long list of projects for this winter – some big and many small. Hopefully I can get them all done before launch time next spring!

Watch for posts in the coming weeks and months regarding haul out and repairs and improvements.

Cheers!
