3/21-3/28/2012

 Wednesday afternoon.  As you can imagine, this is never an inexpensive proposition to pull the boat.  The plan is for them to remove the swim platform, keep the top surface and replace the balsa wood interior with fiberglass and foam.  They will also attach the new davits for the dinghy.

We stayed long enough so Jerry could see what the swim platform looked like as it was being removed. 

We drove to Atlanta to stay with April while the boat was out of the water.  No air conditioning and the temps were in the upper 80s.  Oh darn, have to visit the grand kids again.

Papa spending some quiet time with Harper.

Besides Harper, Papa won the heart of their dog, Dakota.  She's a two year old Boxer.  When Papa was sitting in one of the oversized chairs, Dakota would come by to be rubbed, then inch her way up on his lap.  It was funny to watch.

April and Craig added an incredible deck to the back of their home.  Jerry spent many hours on the deck reading and birdwatching while we were there.  I helped out with the girls.

Tuesday night, Charley spent the night with her dad.  We decided to go back to the boat so Jerry could watch the final stages of the repairs to the swim platform.  Waited until the girls got home from school so we could say goodbye.  I certainly enjoyed my time with them.
