High & Dry

We arrived back at Greenwich Bay Marina early Friday afternoon. There was alot of concern about what HANNA was going to do. Last fall a wicked storm blew in from the southeast here and nearly destroyed the marina we are currently docked at. They do not have a break water to the east, so any sustained wind from that direction wreaks havoc on the marina, a 65 ft cruiser was sunk. With that knowledge and the fact that 2 other named storms were lining up in the carribean, we made a quick decision to pull Jay Sea Dee out of the water for the 3 weeks that we will be back home in Colorado.

We were hauled by 4pm Friday, hung in the slings of the travel lift over night, and then were moved ino the parking lot, blocked and braced on Saturday morning.

We will get our through hull fitting fixed and replace the zincs while the boat is on the hard. We check into a hotel on Saturday, John is battling a stomach flu, and Jodi is cleaning and organizing the boat. First part of the new replacement canvas is due in today for fit up, and the rest will be completed while we are back home.
