Does this keel make my butt look big?

Hey everybody,

It's been quite a fiasco attempting to get the boat weighed. During the first attempt in Sausalito, the boat could not get close enough to the crane due to depth. The second attempt went a little smoother with few depth issues. The boat was strapped up to the travel lift with all the appropriate weighing accoutrement , the boat lifted, and the bulb was still a few inches in the water with the travel lift two-blocked (I know, I know) . Apparently the number to be issued to us is in the 22k lbs range, and that is a good thing.

Next on the schedule is a boat/sail day this Saturday and 9:30 is boat time. Chris and Gary will not be there so I 'll call in a couple of locals to assist. Steve Rossi will be there to dig in and get acclimated to Big Blue. We're anxious to finally meet Steve face-to-face!

Thanks,
Kevin

  1. The final weight came out to 22,509. A considerably better figure than what was figured on paper. Good news for the rating! Stay tuned for news on that.
