Launched DUNVEGAN at 0900hrs. this date. Atallo, the yard manager was once again the key to making everything happen. They need to pay this guy more money.

All systems seem to be up and running, at least after the mechanic straightened out the wiring they had already straightened out.

There appears to be at least four other Sundowner Tugs here. That is a lot in one place since they only made sixty some of these. I met the owner of ADAMANT, a 32' who has a long history with Sundowners and is quite knowledgeable. I encouraged him to look up the owners association.

Weather has improved and I am getting a lot of the little odds and ends taken care of. Took on fuel and water and am topping off the batteries. I have a slip here for two nights and then it's probably going to be on the hook somewhere in the San Juans.

It is nice to hear from you, Ben. That nice side view of DUNVEGAN is one of Ben's photos and I need to give him credit. Everyone should know that Ben is about to charter a 36' Grand Banks in the Bahamas for about ten days. That's gonna be a real nice honeymoon! Your big adventure is about to begin too! You know, if you blogged your honeymoon, it would be a WAY more popular site than this one!
