Almost ready to leave

The past few days have been busy as we get ready to leave. Williams Marine finished the shaft as promised and we picked it up on Friday. The mechanic was able to install on Saturday, as well as finish some fiberglass work on the bow of the boat. Spent Sunday waxing boat, putting bow pulpit back on along with the windlass, checking engines. One refused to start  so had to get the mechanic back, found the issue.
finally ready to put the boat in the water. Boat was lifted on the trailer, trailer started moving out of the parking lot we were in, promptly got stuck in a mud puddle from previous heavy rains, dug a trench in the roadway of the marina. Once out of there, ran into a couple of troublesome tree branches, Wayne and Dave from the marina sawed them off so we could get safely past. Some issues getting the boat started once in the water, but finally everything fixed. Spent today cleaning, sorting, fixing, and moving on board. Hope to leave tomorrow.
