Saturday, October 23
Hurrah, Ramblynn's back in the water with a nice coat of black antifouling paint on her bottom. She'll probably break all speed records now! Winds today 15 - 20 - should make Florida in record time - keep your fingers crossed.

This morning Ramblynn was washed and primed. Antifouling paint this afternoon and we can finally leave on Saturday!!

So this is what was found - blisters and holes. The next day they were busy patching and then the day after, sanding - I wouldn't want that job!

So now she sits so forlorn in the boat yard, waiting, waiting to go back into the water.
Tuesday, October 19, 2010 - Death of a floating reef
On
our way to the boatyard, into the hands of the infamous Charleton.
Ramblynn has become a floating reef and unbeknowst to her we're taking
her to get cleaned and painted.
hmmm, did she know something was up? Why else would she have run aground within sight of the boatyard.
.
Call me crazy but I swear I could feel Ramblynn start to panic when she realized she was coming out of the water.
