January 03-24, 2001 -- The Boat is Hauled

January 3-24, 2001 -- The Boat is Hauled On January 3, the boat was hauled. On January 24, the boat was relaunched. Over the past three weeks, while the yard has been working on the boat, we have also been working on the boat. We have been working to outfit and provision the boat with everything that we expect we will need between here and Trinidad. We have been ordering spares and stocking up on provisions that we know that we will eat on the trip down. There are certain things that we know that we can't get out island such as bisquick. It has been long and hard work, but we think that we are ready. We have also taken a fatalistic approach to supplying. If we don't have everything, then we will do without until we can find it again. It has been a tiring three weeks, but now we are nearing the end of our yard period and work!
