She has an engine!


While it doesn't really feel like it, this weekend was a giant step forward towards a June 2008 sailing date. We were able to tow Epilogue using Dan's beautiful sailboat Augusta, over to the West Wall cargo crane and install the newly rebuilt Perkins 4.236. Everything went off without a hitch and she was back in her slip (without the canopy) safe and sound within an hour. It'll be another month or more before the engine is operational (plumbing, wiring, cabling etc...) but just to have her sitting in the bed is such a relief.
