Nudge is finally at home!

Here's what 17 knots looks like on her transit to her new home.

And here she is in her covered slip at Shady Oaks Marina. 

Beside her is Shared Dream, another Ranger 29.

Our burgee arrived in time for the transit!

Fred's Canvas Adventures

While waiting for the dinghy lift, Bos'n Fred has been hard at work. This is a custom fit navigator's kit that holds a nautical chart book and plotting equipment. It's on the back of the Pilot's chair.

The Dinghy Lift

Nudge arrived on the East Coast without the Pacer lift. It had to be trucked from Seattle and then we waited for proper installation weather. It's done! This allows the dinghy to be stored on the cabin top instead of on the swim platform. It can also be used to heft recalcitrant dogs out of the water.

She Floats!!!

Nudge was splashed on Friday after her bottom paint was dry!! There's still more dealer prep to do, testing all her systems etc. But it's getting closer by the minute

Nudge was surging against her mooring lines in a stiff breeze and seemed eager to go!

Weather Delay

Nudge is at the dealer's yard, waiting for the right temperature for the four coats of bottom paint.

NUDGE ACROSS AMERICA!

No Kidding, we had the best drivers for Nudge's cross country trip - Mary Ann and Dave sent these on the road photos to us today.
