A long drought...


The paint job is final, the prop and shaft are in, thru hulls have been checked and we now have steering. We're definitely down to the short list of things that need to be accomplished before we launch her in two weeks.

To sit at the wheel and imagine her under sail, on a port tack, was almost as exhilerating as it will be when we actually get to sail her one day.

Plans are being made for the day when Epilogue will touch water for the first time in over 5 years. Even though she will be without a mast, without sails, without an engine and without rigging, she'll get to feel the water again and dream of quitting the shore for distant waters.
