Lots of sailing tales and laughs at birthday dinner with Heidi and yard friends Jean and Derrik.
Sunday morning clear enough to paint over epoxied keel bottom. Then down came the rain. Heavy rain all night and today. Launched this morning at 0800. Neuse river staying outside the boat where it belongs. Engine started right up. Shaft alingnment excellent. Reefer working fine. Rafted up to similar sized boat while we struggled to get foller furling and forestay reinstalled. Heidi had the brain storm that ended what was shaping up to be and endless loop of "that should do it... oh shit how are we going to get x on or off now."
If all goes well we will depart tomorrow AM for what should be a week of rainy sailing. Oh well, just so long as we are under way.
Happy sailing everyone, sailors and lubbers alike.
Bill and Heidi
