Bye Bye E Dock and Charleston Harbor Marina

We met some terrific characters in the marina.  We will miss all of our new made friends.  Thanks for taking such good care of us and all the laughs.

But all it's time to move on.

Ready for departure the next morn

So we wrapped up our boat chores, prepped the boat, left our slip for the fuel dock and then took a transient slip on A Dock so we could easily escape the next morning.

Back On The Boat

We are back to our beloved s/v Honey Ryder finally.  This time to move her south.  But not before some boat chores and general maintenance. 

Cap10 Tom got to try out his Bday gift - the Mast Climber and get the ultimate workout as a mast monkey.

The radar deflector had to be hung again after last season.  No easy feat....it didn't even look easy from my casual vantage point on the foredeck. 

First Love

I think the phrase is "you never forget your first love."  This was my first boat.  I took her to college  (K-State)with me and then to KC after college.  She has been part of the fleet through all these years.
