We are finally home…

Sweet Dreams is back in slip 51 at Cocoa Village Marina. The launch and trip back went off without any issues. The bottom felt slick as we motored. As I write this the entire crew is aboard; Sassy, Tinker Bell, Boo, Carol, and myself, everyone is tired. After a little rest Carol and I will be going back to the AirB&B to clean and get a few things. All and all this project was a success. The bottom looks good and time will tell how it ages. I believe we did a good job. The dripless gland worked as advertised. I no longer have the worry that our old dripless would fail and sink the boat, it was 30 years old! The new one will last more than 20 years. Oh the other good news Cape Marina 50 ton lift can lift Sweet Dreams without requiring the backstay to be removed.

We had three opps happen today. The first was Pat’s can of coke got a hole in it and made a mess. The second was touching mud when we were circling for a SR 3 drawbridge, and lastly the 50 amp to 30 amp cord adapter vanished.

Videos below are of the launch. Hope you enjoy them. It was cold today, I needed a windshirt until 8:30 today…
