Coast Guard Documentation First Steps

I found out all our paperwork for the boat and sent it off for Coast Guard Documentation. It was extremely exciting to finally start the ball rolling on that stuff- It seems like if we can get the documentation it will be truly our boat with our new name on it. The situation was very complicated but I just keep praying we had enough documentation/paperwork... Today I saw they cashed the check so we now know at least that they are looking at it...

We haven't worked on the boat for days, we've both been working hard for others. But we have decided our next big task will be to get the mast raised back onto the boat. Brett is rebuilding the chainplates and I am prepping the mast for new paint. It costs a lot to have a crane lift the mast onto the boat so we are saving up.

The mast is the heart of the boat so it is very exciting to see it coming so close to being put back on the boat. I believe the boat has been mastless for years. She is coming back to life though. :)

I'll try to write when I have more about exactly what we have done. it's been a while now and so its a long story and I haven't had time to write. Soon, though.
