The boat was craned out today and put on the trailor that will eventually take the boat to the coast in the spring. Rudy from Windchaser Yachts delivered the boat to our driveway where it will sit through the winter. There are a few minor jobs that will be done over the winter but nothing major needs to be done. The most noticeable will be new antifouling on the bottom that will work in salt water. Some of the other minor jobs are a rebedding of the port window, some varnish on the interior wood, stripping and oiling of the exterior wood, the making of a spare tiller, and replacement of the hose for the bilge pump.
Confucius said "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". Having the boat on the trailor getting ready for the trip to the coast seems like the journey has started.
