Back in the water

         Well we are back in the water after six nights at the Costa suites and it is nice to be back. I think we went a little local in our hotel selection , but live and learn, that seems to be our moto this winter. Our room was on the fourth four of this non elavatored hotel, and at the corner of party allnight and sell time share to early morning  joggers. The boat on the other hand had no surprises, and the work went well, whenthe work was finished Defiant08 was almost to pretty to put back in the water.  Still waiting for our dodger but it is Christmas and no one here is sticking to any kind of schedule. The picture shows, the bottom ready for primer and also a good view of the steel work we had done, the canvas, and the solar panels mounted above.
