We awoke and followed our usual schedule of eating breakfast, then police up the grounds in and near RV, down to the club house for tea or coffee and then back to the boat for some work. Today was different because we went to the storage facility to deliver a trunk load of goods and to bring some back.
While at the storage we re-packed the smallish area we have to better utilize the small square foot but large cubic foot area. The locker goes up to the ceiling if you can figure out how to use it. We added a whole trunk load of stuff and removed Jerry's dingy plus the side curtains for the cockpit enclosure. As such we returned more fully loaded than when we left but were better organized.
Upon return to Holland Marine SAM noticed the boat lift was snuggled around Inspiration II and was suspended in the sling. Since it was 1230 hrs the workmen were off for lunch so we hurried to the Rv and had a quick sandwich of cold meat and returned to the boat just in time for them to start moving the boat towards the water. I took a bunch of pictures with my phone so I will post some on this blog line later.
With the boat in the water it was time for leak checks and indeed we found one on the water speed transducer. Tom Holland determined that the boat should come out and the thru-hull be re-bedded. As of this writing it was finished and was waiting for the 4200 to set. So I expect to be in the water tomorrow morning.
The temperature is supposed to drop to 36°F tonight so frost is expected. We are snug in our RV with the electric fire churning out sufficient heat to keep us plenty warm. Earlier we went to the club house for coffee and had a nice long chat about solar, tiny houses and off-grid plans of a guy who built his tiny house right on the property. It is 24' x 8.5' x 13' high and is road-able.
