After months of lay-up there is always a lot of work to do and this time was no exception. We had flown in to be greeted at La Sagesse by Mike & Lynn and a Thanksgiving dinner "that couldn't be beat"
 
On Friday morning afternoon, we got the covers off and  Chris started a 2 day mission of cleaning the deck and coachroof. For the first time we got the guys at the boatyard to antifoul the bottom and what a great job the did.
 
The guys in the boatyard had polished the hull so by Monday night we were ready to splash. Unfortunately, we discovered a problem with our headsail furling gear but the next day, Louis from Turbulence Rigging fixed it in an hour and we were launched just after lunch.
 
Ready to Splash
 
We sailed to Le Phare Bleu Marina to complete our work and be measured for our new bimini by Dave Royce of the Canvas Shop.  Val and Mike joined us yesterday, the 5th December and after a short stay in Prickly Bay we plan to head North to the Grenadines.
