In the water!

As we prepare for our snowy departure, many of our friends and family have stopped by to visit or lend a helping hand.  Ted, Ned and Lucy(the youngest yet to be on board) inspected our safety systems and gave us a thumbs up!

 In the water she goes!  It was exciting to watch the lift carry our 23 ton boat across the yard and lower her into the water.  Before she went in we applied a final coat of bottom paint and double checked all the seacocks.  Our nerves eased when she was in the water and floating.... yes, a cement boat can float! 
First night in the water at the Wickford Cove Marina.  She looks great!

  2. One of the boat accessory you need most is the Stearns boat covers, to protect your new boat from dirt, sun and weather.
