Grace's Launch Day
Happy to be on the water again.
10 boat yard days (and more) went to hull repairs, scrubbing and waxing, and finessing teak. Grace was launched today. Hooray! I breathed a huge sigh of relief at having the hull supported by water again, and not blocks and stands. More relief than I was aware of, in fact. As Dobbs motored us out the fairway and into the Susquehanna, I was overwhelmed with how "right" I felt. How is it that as Grace moves over the waves, I feel more grounded than I have in months? There's still work to be done before we head out for our Fall cruise, though, so we reluctantly returned to a slip for the next week or so.
