Getting the boat ready for 2009

 

May 7, 2009 - Richmond VA, United States

We flew into Richmond Virginia and back to the boat yard to find our beloved Sea Gal. Then the work started.

Rested after winter and in need of paint

We scraped

Endless rounds of sanding

Launching with the new paint job

Down the ramp and into the water. Off for another summer of adventure. With her new paint and plenty of repairs she was ready for the summer and we were ready for a rest.
