Launch Day!

Central Ontario's weather has been nasty this spring.  Record amounts of rain and well below average temperatures.  



In spite of the weather I got that last of the preparations below the waterline done on Monday. 


Wednesday May 3, launch day, turned out to be a beautiful cool but clear day.  We arrived at the boat about an hour before scheduled launch.  

The marina kindly raised us in the slings so we could paint under the cradle bunks and then she headed for the water.

Trekker splashed down around noon to begin an exciting year!

    It's always a happy day when your boat goes into the water for the season. Congratulations!
    We just returned from spending the winter in the Bahamas on our 415. We are not as courageous about heeling the boat for ICW bridges, so we stayed outside.
    I am interested in adding an arch for solar & would like to Find out more about yours. Could you email me when you have a chance? We'd be happy to share any of our experiences from our first winter of extended cruising - we are still learning as we go!
