Off to the boat...




This is what we have to do to get to our boat.  Park the car (first find a spot, the boat yard is very busy and packed with cars).   Find a boat cart.  Load up the boat cart.  Captain then takes the cart down the ramp to the docks.  This picture was on a good day.  Often we gt there and it is low tide.  That can be a very steep trip down the ramp!  Walk down the docks.  Say hello to other boaters.  Stop and talk.   Take pictures.  Once we get to our skiff (which is an open fishing skiff that Captain built 2 years ago, we also lobster out of this skiff) Captain almost always has to pump some sort of water out of it.  Then, he pulls the engine cord, usually 5 times and the engine starts.  Load up the skiff.  Head out to the sailboat. (see the top picture, we go up that a-way to the boat)  That usually takes about 10 minutes.    Then all is right with our world.   We have arrived and Sea Mist welcomes us with open arms.
