SHIP'S LOG:I am going to have to go down to ABISHAG today. Have to in that the weather in the next couple of days is going to be rather "wintry" and there are still a couple of things to do. The gas containers, along with the outboard and the generator really need to be removed from the boat. If the Genoa and Mizzen are still bent-on, they have to be removed and stored. The dinghy has to0 be removed and deflated and stored. The wind vane needs to be removed and I have to find my IPOD! O what fun ! ! ! ! ! ! ! If I can figure out just how they go, I might even put on the side-curtins that are suppose to be fixed to the bimini (the sun cover that goes over the cockpit) in some way . . .to keep the snow out of the cockpit over the winter.
I also want to take a few pictures of the damage. I doubt that they have begun work on the keel as I haven't heard that the Insurance company has gotten an estimate or approved the work as of yet. Then again, Bruce and Johnson began the work before they got the OK from the Insurance company figuring, quite rightly, that the work was going to be done n matter who was going to pay for it. I suspect that the same approach might be taken by the crew at Captain's Cove Seaport and that will also be right.
MASTER'S PERSONAL LOG:I am not really excited to go down to the boat and finish off the unloading. It's not the work so much as it is going down and feeling stupid about being on the hard instead of being at this moment approaching the ICW. True the weather is nasty and going to get more so, but for a navigation error, I would, in all likelihood, be well on the way down the Chesapeake, heading for the sun. I am going to miss the Sun ! ! ! ! !
