Again!

     Ahhh! Seven p.m. Don went to dinner with friends and I'm staying on the boat to work and blog; just too tired to socialize. Alright where were we?
     So you are dying to know if we rid SpringDay of her heart murmur, right? The prop blades were reshaped again, the engine was re-aligned again, we wrote a big check again, and we had the sea trial again, with two mechanics on board....
     ...But first I have to tell you about two special guests, Moises and Dwight, missionaries in Papalote Mexico a few hours south of Ensenada, they spent the night and stayed on for the sea trial the next morning.  Two good men who decided to leave their possessions behind to help and to love people right into the hands of God.  One is from Mexico City and the other from Ellensburg, Wa. I enjoyed their company and their personal stories.

SpringDay, tall out of the water, again enjoying the attention of her special guests. Moises is so impressed by her, he takes plenty of pictures and says he can't wait to show his wife. I smile and share his excitement.

I love this picture; this huge lift is backing up over the ramp to hand over SpringDay to testing  waters and Moises feels the urge to go touch her hull walking with her while Dwight snaps a picture.  The hard hat supervising is baffled and knows very well this is OSHA NoNo! But like me he enjoys the moment.

 

Sea trial over and a preoccupied skipper says goodbye to our friends; a trailer full of supplies, building materials and furniture and a pickup full of their dedication to Papalote.  God willing we will see them in a few days.





I'll be right back....
