She's here! On Thursday, our new-to-us boat arrived via truck from San Francisco, California. She weathered the long drive beautifully (thanks to the fabulous trucker, Sal Piazza, seen above, tending to his load) and is now up on the blocks in Port Townsend, Washington awaiting re-rigging and a bottom paint. Her previous name was Aboutime, which, indeed, was our sentiment after waiting 6 weeks for her arrival following the purchase. However, we will be changing her name (and have already done so with her Coast Guard registration) to Sun Break. We chose that name because, well, we liked it, and also as a nod to the frequent use of the term in the weather forecasts here in the Pacific Northwest. If you've spent any time here, you know what sun breaks are and also how much you come to appreciate them! Sun Break is a 2002 Beneteau 331 previously home ported in Richmond and Santa Barbara, California.
It was fun to see her lifted off the truck.
Baylee used Sun Break's shade to her advantage.
First lunch on board, even if it's not in the water yet!
Hopefully, the boat will be put back together and readied for her first cruise in short order - and without too many trips to West Marine (we hope)!
Have a great week!
