Pandemic
craziness #2
Well what a project it was time to get ready to ship the boat and as always I
recruited my best sailors Bob Becker Tim Mail and yours truly Michael Preston Who
is in Erie for this summer to help pull the mast apart and get ready to ship
nyanza to Annapolis the date was July 27th and they're going to pick up the
boat tomorrow and move it to Annapolis here are a few of the pictures of the
project of taking down the mast and getting it ready to ship down to the Jabin
boatyard in Annapolis where it will be painted by Annapolis gelcoat.Just to
give you a little idea it took about 20 hours of Labor to pull the rig apart and
get it ready to ship. Prior to that I spent two days packing up everything that
would go up on board and on deck sails, rigging ,Zodiac ,engine etc etc The
boat is being shipped by lockview marine and transport company based up in
cayuga NY The owner Rich Johnson showed up with a big beautiful new rig and said
the trip from Erie to Annapolis was going to take him hopefully 6 to 7 hours.
He did it in 7 hours. Someone saw the boat flying down 79 as it went past them going
65 with an escort and then he went into West Virginia and across into Virginia and
into Maryland.
