The engineer tells me I'll have the Pushpit back tomorrow, so I figure I might as well make a day of it and go get the boat registered and put my application in for a mooring.
I think I'm running out of weeks...and they are not even full time work on the boat type weeks!

I have to say that building a boat is no where near as stressful as doing the finishing touches and getting it launched.

Yes, I'm also hoping to be in a marina for a couple of months before going to a mooring. For all the same reasons but it gets more complicated as I am also hoping to be doing a lot of sailing. Don't want to be paying for a mooring or berth that I'm not using. Good luck and heres hoping all goes well for both of us :-).

Thats, good to hear Gary. I are looking at roughly the same dates for La Chica. In my case, it depends when my friend will be able to give us space in his boat shop. We will need about two weeks to cut away the cradle (it's welded to the hull) repair the damage and put on three coats antifouling.

I'm using his shop as it's out of the weather and will not cost me. If I go to the marina yard, I have to pay. So I'm willing to make my launch day fit in with his plans.

I stiffened up the cradle a bit and kicked the blocking out from under her today. She's officially a floatable boat.
