Friday is the day. We are splashing our new to us boat. Yes I'm nervous.
Have spent all spring going over the critical updates list and hope I'm ready. Although not all updates are done and the boat needs a lot of work, hoping I have done enough for the trip to our home dock. Will take a few shake down runs and then hopefully move the boat 80 miles to our home port. Anyone want to see a nervous man hit every boat in the marina trying to dock feel free to come down for a laugh.

Congratulations. You"ll be amazed at how maneuverable the boat is.

Where is the boat and where are you taking it?  If you are nearby, I might be able to assist at some point.

Thanks for the offer. Launching in Sandusky then have a month to move it to Fairport harbour. I

Not sure where Fairport Harbour is, but I am in Holland, MI, so I guess I am not close.

   kh3412, Happy to hear you are in the water. I'm still down the bay at the Sandusky Sailing Club if you need a hand with something.

Made it with help from workers from Marina. Did not make into the slip we wanted to do to wind but got it tied up.

As they say "any landing you walk away from is a good one!". Congrats, it will get easier, with some practice.

Well any landing you walk away from is a good landing, but it helps if you're at the right airport.
Ok spent the weekend on the boat with the wife WE LOVE IT.
