GETTING READY TO 

SPLASH (LAUNCH)

Gene painting the bottom 

of Moody Blues' wing keel

Ah, fresh bottom paint.

Barnacles hate fresh bottom paint!

In the travel lift heading for the water.

Trucker's ratchie straps uncoiled.

Coiled.

Cincher.

Yes, the hooks are strong.

But so are hurricanes . . .

Our neighbor in the yard, 

Rhum Runner, 

out of the water for some R & R & paint!

Speaking of R & R, 

time to celebrate getting launched!
