Nov. 12th-13th

Spent 2 nights at Atlantic Yacht Basin $1.00 per foot, even Brian couldn't resist. Day one bottom cleaned. Day two mechanic arrived a little after 8:00am to check out the tack and some other minor maintence. All came through with flying colors.

What a great crew, we asked to have the bottom cleaned and an hour later the crew arrived at the boat to bring her over to the lift.

Nov. 14th

We'll be headed back to the free dock to backtrack a little and head down through the Dismal Swamp.
