Such a Happy Boat

Crimson Kathryn is back in the water after 19 months on the hard!! She is a very happy boat today! The travel lift arrived at 11:15 am and we were in the water and tied up at the Reynolds Park Pier by 1:30pm. It was a great day and we’re very excited to be afloat.

This post will be short on words (I’m pretty tired tonight), but long on photos! This is our last night in the Airbnb. Tomorrow (Wednesday) we’ll move onto the boat full time. Our wifi may not be as good on the pier at Reynolds so our posts may spread out a bit!

Crimson Kathryn is all ready to go! Where’s the travel lift?
And the lift arrives (after a bit of a wait for us!!).
The captain is checking up on the Holland Marine workers. All must go well or we could be in trouble!
Mark is onboard to help with the lift of the boat. Because of our rub rails, the lift is a bit more complicated. Don’t want to crush those rails!
We’re on the move! It’s a bit of a drive to the launch site.
And off we go!
Get out of the way…I’m coming through!!
Crimson Kathryn is in position to be lowered into the water.
We’re in the water and Mark is checking for leaks…we had none!! Yippy!
Temporarily tied up at the launch dock. We left within 20 minutes to head over to the Reynolds Pier.
Floating at our new home on the pier.
A well deserved lunch break. Mark steered us over to the Reynolds pier like the pro he is!
We celebrated our launch with Jane and Steve Holler on their new boat Daydreams ll.
