New Old Boat...


Another blue shirt day - I made a run for parts, then worked on our supply boat, got the pump-out station up and running... and then about 3:00 we got a call that our other cruise boat was just passing through Jackson. We drove to where the driver was going to bring the boat, waited for him to make his way through the heavy holiday traffic, and got our first look...


I spent about an hour photographing details for our Coast Guard inspection and going through the boat to see what was updated, changed, and repaired. The Teewinot is now our newest old boat, since our other cruise boat was completely refit last year. She looks good for 30 years old. Other than getting the life boat mounted on top, there wasn't time to get a real start on the extensive checklist. Tomorrow morning, she goes in the water. I'll be driving the other cruise boat all day, so one of the other captains will get to pull her off the trailer. I'm anxious to get her back to work. Still, I think Wild Blue is much better looking.

Early this morning in the marina - starting to look like a real marina again...
