I am getting up around 8.30, 9.00 and Bob around 5 or 6. The noise throughout the nights of passing honking trains, barges and freighters and lifting bridges does not seem to bother my sleep. She'll be put into the Travel lift on Friday so we can finish off the paint job where due to the stands we could not get to. Then she goes into the water on Monday. We are slowly getting there! Got a free autopilot from "nautical donations" at Crowleys. Bob sold ours to Todd and Debb. This new/old one was new over $900. We are going to be cruising soon - all smooth and new! Weather is shit. Sometimes sunny and unbearable heat, then heavy rain falls and thunderstorms and wind gusts.                                                                          Bob just said "Boats are like women, generally. If you are good to them they are good to you. If not - they can sink your life!" Nice one, babes! :-)
