The weather was kind to us during the docking so we were able to get the necessary jobs done in good time. That makes a change. So often the end of a docking involves a desperate rush to finish jobs so that the boat will actually float by the deadline. The last few days just involved adding a few extra coats of tar and clearing up the clutter around the boat.
The day of the launch came, and it all went smoothly. Aaron, strong as an ox, took the role of horse again to bowhaul us up to Portland Basin
Iain steered while Vicki filmed.
