The time has come the Walrus said.........Two Pelicans wont be hauling out just yet;I have a diver scheduled for the 23rd at 0730 .He will debarncale the waterline,thru hulls, running gear and replace the zinc on the Autoprop. I figured the expense not worth it .Instead I will carreen TP at a convenient place to allow the waterline down 18 inches to be repainted.
I installed a new engine start battery yesterday and filled up with diesel. There are some last minute items to deal with Monday.
I will be moving down the ICW in the company of Marilyn and Stewart aboard Union Jack,a Nauticat 33 ketch. We are headed to South Beach,Miami.
