Splashdown!

After a week of preparations, Jay Sea Dee finally got back to where she is most happy…in the water. It all went very smoothly and then Pierre (owner of Nautiland) got on board to show us the new docking system. It turned out that it is much like snagging a mooring ball. I was a bit worried about it because the moorings we saw didn’t seem to have the pendants attached and nobody could explain the process of catching the line to me in English. Pierre went a-stern and using the boat hook snagged the line (there was a pendant attached to ours…yeah!) then followed it to the bow where our line was waiting to thread the needle and re-attach to the bow cleat. All that worry for not. IMG_0535IMG_0539 IMG_0537IMG_0542IMG_0541IMG_0544
