This has to be the longest 2 weeks of your life!!!!!LOL
When we were waiting on a new build and close to the date we really had to keep busy with other things to occupy our minds. We made that last couple of weeks two of the busiest weeks we could have.

I suppose I should be crazed for her to arrive, but I'm not. I have done a lot of big projects in my life. All the planning part is super fun. But then when the time comes to launch the business, or dig the first hole, or land that plane the first time.... reality sets in.
I have a lot to learn!
I also kind of thought that with 10 months I'd have every single duck in a row when this moment came. All that I needed to accomplish would be taken care of. I suppose I have done a great deal, but I'll be winging it with lots of things.
But at least my apron arrived yesterday, that's a pretty important item to cross off the list, right?

I hope you’re getting a couple of Hampton hats to go with the boat...

I just did as well. Fantastic photos and the boat looks beautiful.
The dock space also looks really nice. I can't place the location though.
I also missed the post where you talk about the hooks you installed. I think that is brilliant. We always have a pile of jackets and shoes (and hats) laying around. While I have put up hooks to deal with some of it, it isn't as nice a solution as you have there.

Sorry, I meant I had missed reading that post earlier and just read it now.
Confusing posts is what I get for typing between patients.

Got it. Well I'm glad you think the hooks are a good idea. It's practical, no doubt. Some yachtie types might think a little too practical, we shall see.

I had to take a little break from blogging but now there are several new posts from the last week. Just posted a bunch of pictures of the commissioning process. Another post is from my great friend Cliff doing drone work up in Alaska. And some pictures and info from the Hampton Rendevous in Roche Harbor.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
