Back on the Water

The lift back into the water went well on Tuesday, in fact by the time we got down to the harbour at 9am she was already on her berth.
The mast was stepped back in place later that day and we've spent the rest of our time to date getting the rigging back in place and making adjustments.
I took advantage of the rain showers on Tuesday and treated the deck with the first two stages of Teak Wonder (cleaner and brightener) and then followed up with the final step of the sealer yesterday as the sun had come for most of the day and dried it out to finish that particular job off.
We managed to get the jib on yesterday with the help of a break in the breeze and are pleased to report that a triangular fixing that the other half rigged up when the mast was off seems to work really well; the halyard no longer twists.
The cockpit cover fits well now I've rigged up the elastic fixings to final size and it was tested for water pooling points on Tuesday as we had heavy rain overnight.
The forecast today is light winds so we're planning on bending the mainsail on and even going for a quick sail to test things out.
It's all coming together at last, but it's great to be back on the water and the right side of Summer!
