Second crew arrives and off we finally go


Our second crew arrives on Saturday March 7th (David Hayslip also a veteran sailor) and after some more chores we take off for the gas dock that afternoon.

We had originally delayed our departure until Sunday as some heavy weather had been forecast for Saturday. As it never came to fruition AND I had the forethought to check that the gas (diesel) dock was open on Sunday (it was not) we left in a hurry on Saturday throwing me into a tizzy. After fueling at House of Boats (nice folks) we were allowed to stay tied up for the evening.

Just for fun we were about 20 feet away from the fuel dock when we ran the boat aground…geeze! With the help of a wake from a power boat we were soon off and away.
