We've been at Sailcraft Marine for 10 days, but there is frost on the decks this morning and it’s clearly time to head further south. We leave for Beaufort or Morehead City in an hour or so.
Bill was brilliant this week and (among other things) installed a new (Spectra) watermaker, an Air-X wind generator, and thru-bolted down the deck boxes he built at home. I waxed and caulked and stood by as first assistant. Act III is really ready for cruising now. We feel god-like after making our own water last night for the first time, and a blind taste test showed we preferred it over our bottled water.
We plan to continue down the Intra-coastal for awhile, unless we’re forced outside to avoid shoal water. Florida is looking better every day I put on my long-johns.
No pictures from here…we put in long 10-12 hour work-days and fell into bed at night. No time for frivolity :)
