Tomorrow we splash (again)

It has been a long but productive week in Georgetown. We had hoped to be well on our way by now, but the weather has not been great for drying paint. However, tomorrow morning we relaunch and Momo now sports a new cutlass bearing, mostly refinished brightwork, and a freshly serviced Max prop, in addition to her bottom work. We truly lucked out in finding Hazzard Marine (our only option, really, as no other boatyard has a travel lift within 50 miles). They were happy with us doing the work ourselves, were incredible resources for questions and advice, helped in getting materials, loaned us tons of tools, and generally made us feel welcomed and well-taken care of. We thanked them today with a case of beer, which they greatly appreciated.
We are all anxious to be underway again, and the hope is that we will make some progress south tomorrow. The weather is not ideal for going outside, so we will stick to the ICW to Charleston and then hope for a better window to go outside from there.
Georgetown's streets are lined with beautiful old trees.

Momo's home for the past week.
We continue to develop our kite-flying skills.

She has her own ideas about fashion - but her "appleshirt" is assuredly underneath.
