The moment of truth

Well at long last the boat is probably ready for launch day.

There are several anxieties preying on my mind

Will she float?

How bad will she leak?

Will the engine work?

Will the depthsounder function? 

.....The list continues....

Anyway my friend Steve says that I worry too much and that everything will be fine. I hope his confidence is maintained after his 2 week stint with me up the East Coast!!

The first picture is of my friend Dave who came for a cup of tea. He hates boats and is pretending to relive a recurring nightmare of being run down at sea.

The second picture proves that Calismarde did in fact float ready for the always interesting trip down Faversham Creek back to the moorings
