On Saturday 26 June, after a wonderful afternoon with the boys and Gary it was time to cast off the lines and leave our moorage at Shelter Island. This was our home port for the last 10 years.
On Monday morning, after a relaxing weekend the boat was hauled out at Granville Island boatyard for the final survey, some little jobs and bottom paint. On Wednesday morning, with our nerves at end we finally finished the jobs, gone to get our last vaccinations and waited for high tide to put the boat back into the water.
With full diesel and water tanks, all non-perishable provisioning and all gear onboard, the boat weight in at 22000 lbs. It is quite heavy, but is about the weight we anticipated.
We are currently at anchor in False Creek and this will be home for the next 2 weeks.
