There's a brand new $1.5 Mil 420 Outrage in front of my windshield. Just a bit nervous pulling in to dock and not hitting that
There's a brand new Cantius 46 here now.
I only bumped it lightly on my way past.

Love it, My style, back when boats looked like boats and you could tell a Sea Ray from 5 miles away.Beautiful day here so went in a day early.
All systems go and getting settled in.

What a great feeling seeing that!Went in yesterday!View attachment 143906
Sorry, but that should go in the funny chit thread.Launch yesterday with a bone dry bilge. I almost always have some bilge water. I got it all dried out over winter. Really proud of myself. This morning I fill water tank, run water thru system checking for any pipes that might have ice broke over winter, but i hear a noise in bilge.
I forgot to close the drain spigot before filling!!! Water pouring out of water heater! There went my nice dry bilge for the season.

You wont sleep. Youll be up all night wondering is you repaired everything right. Or overlooked anything. Like closing the water heater drain valve.Yes it should.
I had some comedy today myself, if you can call it that. As I always do, I lifted my float switches after hooking up the batteries yesterday...all was well.
I went down in the ER today to check on my new packings and noticed more water in the foward bilge well than usual. Lifted the switch and popped the breaker.
I took the pump out and couldn't turn the impeller with pliers. Damn thing worked 22 hours prior.
Exact replacement pump on Amazon for $47 bucks, but couldn't wait 4 days with no pump so I got hosed at the local marina instead.
One boat buck and a stiff back later and I can sleep tonight.
Next?
@Pirate Lady, for a variety of reasons, I decided to go home today instead of continuing my stay on the boat. Good thing I did. The pipe on the house side of the water meter sprung a leak and I came home to a basement full of water. Luckily, I found a plumber who lives nearby to execute the repair….You wont sleep.

I had posted earlier that I broke my wrist April 6th and had the surgery April 13th, so had to delay my launch till I was healthy enough to do the pre-launch stuff...

I hope that fulfills your "It Comes in Threes", at least for a while. Praying for your mom.And as of yesterdays adventure wasn’t enough, my 88 year old mother has fallen today and we are currently in the emergency room. I think she broke he left ankle and May need surgery.
Truly sorry to hear that. They repair slow at that age, take care of her. Boats dont matter compared to that.And as of yesterdays adventure wasn’t enough, my 88 year old mother has fallen today and we are currently in the emergency room. I think she broke he left ankle and May need surgery.
