Launching 31st Jan

4 days before launch

We are launching the boat on Wednesday, the 31st. Everyone is excited. I am confident, in a quietly nervous sort of a way that all corners of my responsibility have been met. The deck team is flat out! It is all happening in the same week. The boat launches on Wednesday and on Friday a gleaming fleet of tenders are to be bobbing happily next to mother duck for the owners visit and inspection.

The bloke has spent nearly $10million dollars on the refit and two days after we launch they are expecting my team to present the ship and tenders to him as sparkling diamonds. Oh goodie! It’s a challenge, lets put it that way..

After the mayhem of a busy week, a few of us will be running in the Tybee Island half marathon! Debbs is the host for the spectators and fan club. (That’s just Debbs probably), the race goes right past her front garden. At least the hot tub is back in action and there is a disco party organised for Saturday night.
