Haul out boat in Demopolis

   Sorry I haven't posted lately.  Recently, our lives have settled into a normal, regular routine.  David flies out each week for work, Thomas goes to school, Matthew & Mom home school, Mom catches everyone up on their doctor appointments, the bills, and our life in general while we have been gone  from TN for a year.  The weather has turned cold:  TN has seen cold, but not much snow, while David is seeing snow in NY.  Thomas is enjoying being back in regular high school, being a Patrol Leader in Boy Scouts, and hopefully get his braces off soon!  We are reconnecting with friends and seeing some family.

   The boat seems to be enjoying Demopolis, and this weekend, so are Mom & Dad.  After almost 3,000 miles of cruising, one year of which was in salt water, we decided to have the boat hauled out to make sure everything underneath looks good and there is no damage.  We were thankful to see a fairly clean bottom, and just some zincs needed replacing.  Back into the water and into the slip within 2 hours. Great!  She is ready now to start moving further north to bring her home.
