Title: The BIG Move - Sailorbum/Todd
Post by: Bubba the Pirate on June 10, 2009, 08:09:11 PM
It has been difficult to make much progress on s/v In A Mist.  In '07 and early '08, I was driving 5 to 6 weeks at a time and getting three days off.  Since last June, I drive for a great company where I get 5 DAYS out and 2 days home [actually just 48 hours].  Still the boat was 3.5 hours away.  With some inspiration and some help from Mom and Dad, the boat was moved today to a marina just 25 or 30 MINUTES away.  I am looking forward to a lot of work done this summer.  I'm going back in the morning.   ;D Here are a couple photos of her journey.  Editors Note:  I didn't haul the trailer, but I had fun parking in front of it for a picture.

Hi Todd

I am just south of Douglas in South Haven.  When you get some time later this summer, maybe we can meet up.

That would be cool!   My weekends are Wednesday and Thursday [the life of a trucker], but would like to do that if we can work it out.  I've already warned the friends and family, "if you don't know where I am, you know where I am."
