We are back in Mobile, Alabama. Brad and I drove down on January 8th & 9th, stopped overnight in Nashville. Good drive and good weather after leaving snow and cold in Michigan & Ohio. Arrived in Mobile late afternoon on Friday and went straight to the marina and Northern Light. Worked hard all weekend getting the boat ship shape and ready for launch. We had to sand the bottom for new salt water bottom paint, apply bottom paint, wax the hull, varnish the teak and check all boat systems.
We moved from our hotel to the boat on Sunday and it is nice to be back on board even though it is like living in a tree house since it is still on jack stands in the boat yard and it is a long ladder climb to get aboard. We don't have heat or water but it is still very comfortable on the boat.
Today we were able to finish all prep work for launch tomorrow. Northern Light is ready and looking good!!

Brad & Jay,
I'm so excited to see you back again!! It's interesting to read about all the prep work you have to do. I figured you'd just plop her back in the water and sail away.
It doesn't sound like it's very warm down there - but definitely warmer than up here!!
May God continue to bless your trip as you head out to sea.
Denise
