| Moondance on the Hard |
We are still living aboard Moondance, but we are in the boat yard getting lots of work done.

| E-Ticket Ride |
Just imagine... a 32,000+ lb sailboat backing into a small chute, having a sling placed around the hull, slowly lifted out of the water, and rolled across the yard.

| Ride in the Travel Lift |
It is a very strange sensation riding on Moondance as it was lifted out of the water. Kind of like an E-Ticket ride at Disneyland, but much more expensive!

| Sunset from Singlar Marina |
We have a big list of projects to finish up before we head south, but have complete faith that Bob, Rafa, and the crew of Total Yacht Works will take excellent care of us.

- having the bottom scraped and painted
- replacing the shaft and rebuilding the cutlass bearing
- removing our forward fuel tank (too heavy in the bow)
- replacing a thru-hull
- and lots of other exciting stuff that Doug is working on
The good news, as soon as we are back in the water, we start sailing South. Yippee! We are soooo ready to start the next phase of our adventure!

You guys are made of sterner stuff than we are - Art managed one night on the boat on the hard during our long haulout in Bellingham, and I'm afraid of ladders.
Hope the works goes quickly and isn't toooo expensive.
You guys deserve to get going! Enjoy chutes and ladders! Ana
Yep. I thought so. He would even smile while in the yard!
well, It is getting very close now! I am so happy you are going over there! I am leaving for Maz Mon. on a friends boat maybe I will see you there. Crit
Take your time in the yard cause Neil and I (S/V Gypsy) are in your slip and loving the view :) We'll stop by to give you some encouragement though.
Looks beautiful down there! We had our first sun in about eight days and I had to wear sunblock. Looking forward to more posts about your travels this year. BOOYAH!
