Every time David sits down in the boat, Beamer jumps in his lap for some petting:

Mahdee’s temporary slip is between two large sport fishing boats. One moved, so we took a quick picture of her:

David used a long series of extensions to drill out the wire chase in the top of the mast. It had been closed up around a single wire at some point in the boat’s past:

Here’s the final hole he drilled. The small rope will be used to pull wires.

Here’s the bronze masthead fitting that goes onto the top of the mast that the hole was drilled in. We will be replacing the single light on the top with a tricolor light and a bracket to hold an Airmar weather station.

Now that we’re in the water, I can take a few minutes to post a few pics! I don’t yet have the pics that Pam and Chris took of the launching but those will be here soon, I’m sure.

Here’s a picture of “shaggy” David enjoying the sunshine on deck.
