So here we are at MM 253 on the GIWW at anchor on a very cold dreary day. But we are on the boat and our Pensacola refit is completed and I’m having Irish cream and coffee trying to stay warm.
We look like a sailboat again with new rigging, new 135 roller furling and reefing head sail, main sail with two reefing points, and stack pack main sail cover with lazy jacks. Zern Rigging took care of our rigging needs and Shurr Sails supplied our sails. Blue Coral made our half tower which now holds our propane tanks and solar panels. We couldn’t be more pleased with the work and can highly recommend all their services.
Tammy, the office manager of the shipyard was wonderful and very accommodating. We were in and out of the shipyard, many times without notice to Tammy and she always made room for us.
So here we are desperately trying to find warmer weather and starting a new chapter in our journeys. Actually we are headed first to Tarpon Springs to spend the holidays with our son and his family. We will be looking for that elusive weather window sometime early next week. After the holidays we will head slowly for the Bahamas.

ReplyDeleteHi Maureen,
ReplyDeleteIf you mean for the Bahamas, probably mid January. Stay in touch.

Did you go from Pensacola to Appalachicola directly? When did you leave Pensacola? Safe travels, you should find warmer weather soon.
ReplyDeleteHey Maureen,
DeleteWe are presently in Gulfport and headed for the Keys, where we will make the crossing to the Bahamas.
