Freedom is in the water!

Took  the day off for a doctors app. and had time to put Freedom in the water.  Here are some pics.  Thanks to my first mate and our son, oh, and the guys at the club.

Time to lift her.

Line it up just right!

Up she goes!

Ready for paint.

Paint where the pads were.

On the move.

Moving.

More moving.

Even more moving.

OK, time to go in.

Touching water again.

At the dock, finally!  Don't want to talk about it.

Freedom was just over there not 30 min. ago.

She looks real good in the water.

Time for bottom paint.

Mother's Day was so nice that we painted the bottom.  We also sent the main sail in to shorten it.  We moved the boom back up 9" (factory location).  Sent Big Red in for repairs too.

Spring is here, time to put bottom paint on!

See how sweet she looks!

More paint.

Back breaking work.

No gloves, not too smart.

Almost done, three quarts later.

Clean up crew, and on Mother's Day?

OK,  now she's done.   Now waiting for a good day to launch.
