Andy and Dave's Last Night in Annapolis

Andy says:

"Boat is back in the water, shakedown run completed, everything seems to be OK. Going to wash now. Lots of cleaning to do, for the rest of the day. Leaving bright and early tomorrow morning and want everything clean, when we leave."

Next message:  "Boat washed, dinghy back in the water, Andy's "exhausted", going to dinghy to dinner, somewhere."

Here's where they are headed tomorrow:

Island Time was delivered there today, and they are busy putting her back together.  When I talked with Andy this afternoon, he said they had the chart plotter and some other electronics working.  They have a lot to do!  They will also have someone from this boat yard take a look at the prop and prop shaft.

Pictures later!

Island Time Will Be Shipped Next Monday by Truck, to Annapolis, MD

Tied up at the Shumway Marina, in Rochester, NY. Hoping to connect with a transporter next week that can haul Island Time to Annapolis. Many other boaters are in the same situation as me and there is a "Run on Transporters". One guy I spoke with said soonest he can get here is 2.5 weeks. I hope to be able to improve on that time, tomorrow. Not the trip I had planed. "Life".........what happens while you are making other plans. ;)
More will be revealed............. Florida or BUST!  Yesterday at 2:30pm ·

Andy emailed me today and told me that the boat is being readied for transport from Rochester, NY to Annapolis, MD, and will be shipped next Monday, for delivery on Tuesday.  That's pretty quick!!

This is what the boat looked like when it was shipped from Connecticut to Muskegon MI in April 2008, by Arrigoni Marine Movers.  Notice that there is about 6 inches of clearance from the road to the bottom of the semi trailer.
