– Introduction to Boat Life and Current ‍Progress

The rain and wind have officially started, although it’s just drizzly and not too‍ bad. We’ve decided ⁢not to move the boat stands today because the wind is expected to pick up tonight. ⁢Today, I feel like a truck hit me, and the weather isn’t helping. I just want to stay in bed. So,⁢ I’m going to focus on finishing up my last projects inside the boat, including getting the rudder installed. The ⁣yard is most likely closing​ early today. Tomorrow, ⁣the yard will officially be closed.

I’ve been busy preparing for the next ​steps while the yard is closed. I’ve been receiving and organizing all my packages, doing laundry, and getting everything ready to be picked up⁤ tomorrow once I get to the dock. ​I’ve also⁣ made some additional purchases, including new fire extinguishers, new sheets, and an exciting item, a Mako controller and cables for some eccentric projects. I can’t wait to see what it can do! As I prepare ‌for the launch tomorrow at 8:30 in the morning, the dinghy will be dropped off at 7. The boat is cleaned up, and I’ll soon put the ‌final coat of paint where the stands were. Despite the wind, today it was actually beautiful, with the sun shining. My ⁤only concern now is my‌ new Seacock for the through hole. I hope it doesn’t leak. It’s ⁢a good morning from the yard, and I’ve just⁤ arrived. I’ve‌ paid ⁢my bill and will be splashing‌ at 8:30 this morning. The dinghy should be here any minute now to​ be put back up. In the meantime, I’ll‌ clean up all⁣ my supplies and get the fenders ready for both starboard and portside, as I haven’t decided which side to tie up to at the dock yet. I‌ want to ⁤be prepared for both options. Since‍ I’m alone, I won’t have a lot of​ time to make a last-minute decision.⁢ I’ll also need to get fuel, which ⁢will be on‍ the starboard side, ⁤so I’ll prepare for that as well. I should be at the dock by 10:30 at the latest. I⁣ hope the Seacock holds forward.

– Challenges Faced in the ⁤Boatyard⁣ and Weather Conditions

In the boatyard, we faced various challenges, including unfavorable weather conditions. The rain and wind made​ it difficult ​for us to work efficiently, but we remained determined to continue our projects. Despite ‌the drizzly weather, we decided ⁢not to⁣ move our stands as the wind was expected to pick up later.

Feeling exhausted, I couldn’t help but think that a truck had⁢ hit me. The weather didn’t help⁢ either, making me want to stay in bed instead. However,​ I knew I had to push through and focus on completing my remaining tasks inside the boat. One major project was ‍installing the rudder,​ and I hoped ​to finish it before the yard closed early.

Amidst the challenging weather ‍conditions, the boatyard officially​ closed the‌ following day. It was ⁤only around 11 A.M on Wednesday when they announced the closure in just one hour. Before the closure, ‌I managed to pull ⁢off the paint, and although I couldn’t paint that day,⁣ I planned to do so on Friday morning. I‌ was determined to arrive early, at 7 ​A.M., and splash the boat by​ 8:30​ A.M.‌ to put an ‍extra coat on top. With ⁣most of the yard work completed and the rudder installed, I utilized the yard’s closure to attend to‌ other important tasks. This included receiving and organizing my packages,⁢ doing laundry, and gathering ​everything I needed for tomorrow’s pick-up at the dock,‌ such as new fire extinguishers and sheets. Additionally, Mako, a trusted companion, was covering part one of several things from⁢ eccentrics, including ⁤my new ⁤controller ⁤and cables for various items. We were both excited about the progress and the upcoming launch.

As⁤ the launch was scheduled for 8:30 A.M. the next morning, preparations were in full swing. The dinghy was expected to be dropped off ‍at 7 A.M.,⁢ while I made sure⁣ to clean ⁢up all my supplies and get the fenders ready for⁤ both starboard and portside. Since​ I wanted to tie up on the starboard side but also be prepared for any last-minute changes, I decided to have fenders available for both sides. My aim was to be ready for fueling, which would take place ⁣on the starboard side. I was particularly concerned about my one‌ through hole, where I had installed a ⁣new Seacock. I hoped that it would not leak during the launch.

Early in the morning, around 7:30 A.M., I arrived at the yard, paid my bill,‌ and prepared for the launch. I anticipated the arrival of the dinghy at any minute, which would be ‍hoisted back⁣ up onto the‌ boat. Before that, I took the time to clean up my supplies and ensure everything​ was in order. I ​also made sure ⁤to have fenders available for both starboard and portside, taking into consideration the docking options available. My preference was to tie up on the starboard ⁤side and face ⁣out, but I wanted to be prepared for any situation. The fueling process, which would take place on ‍the ⁣starboard side, was also on my mind, and I made​ sure to⁤ have everything​ ready. By 10:30 A.M., I hoped to be at the dock, ready to set sail. One concern that lingered was the new Seacock‍ I‌ had installed. I hoped that it would hold and not cause any leaks during the launch.

In conclusion, despite the challenges faced in the boatyard and the unpredictable weather conditions, ‌I remained dedicated to completing my tasks⁤ and preparing for the upcoming​ launch. It was a busy and eventful time, but with the support and assistance of Playboy Marine, everything was falling into ⁤place. Their willingness to lend a hand whenever I ⁤needed it was greatly appreciated, and I looked forward to setting sail soon.

– Finalizing Preparations for Launch and Docking

The preparations⁤ for the launch and docking of the boat are in full swing. Despite the drizzly weather, ⁢we are determined to make progress. Today, we focused on getting the rudder installed, as well as completing some final projects inside the boat. The yard will be closing early, so we made sure to finish up as much as possible ⁣before they shut down.

In the meantime, we took the opportunity to take care of⁢ some other tasks. We received packages and did some laundry, making sure ​everything is ready to be picked up tomorrow when we reach the dock. We also made sure to stock up on essentials, including new‍ fire extinguishers and sheets. Additionally, ‍our friend Mako⁣ helped us ‌with setting up a new controller and cables for our equipment. We can’t wait to see‍ everything in ⁤action!

As⁣ the launch approaches tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM, we are feeling a mix of excitement and anticipation. The dinghy is set to arrive at 7 AM, and ‍we ‌are ⁣grateful that‍ Highfield was able to ‌assist⁢ us with the patching up. ‍We’ll make sure to clean up ⁢the boat and apply a​ final coat of paint before the launch.​ The weather was splendid today, giving us hope that ⁣everything will be dry and ready for the journey.​ One minor concern⁤ is ⁤our new through hole and Seacock, but we are optimistic that it won’t cause any issues. Overall, we are ready for an eventful day and can’t⁢ wait to⁣ set sail towards new⁤ horizons!
