Title: Vessel Reel Time Splashes April 15th
Post by: Capt. Mike on March 13, 2008, 03:21:46 PM
It’s that time of the year again. Vessel Reel Time will get delivered to her slip on April 15th.  Can’t wait, It has been a long winter. Anyone else launching in April?

If the weather warms up enough to paint the bottom, I will be in toward the end of April.  t^
 Got a soft spot on the deck that needs to be tended to first.   :P

I can be in my slip April first, so probably the first Friday of April, weather permitting, I will put her in the water after work that day, have a cigar, and maybe stop at Fantasies that evening for a couple of cold ones.

Hareball and I have spent the last 2 days getting Reel Time prepped for Tuesday the 15th. It looks like we are on track; we just need weather to cooperate. 2 New engine batteries go in tomorrow and bottom paint. After we except delivery, Hareball and I will spend 1-2 more days rigging her at dock for hopefully a trip about 25-30 offshore for some sea bass on Saturday the 19th. Can't wait it has been a long winter.

We are in!  chrz

Tied her up in her slip; put all the electronics back online. Hareball, put all pfds, rigging items, cleaners, and a few more necessities in their place onboard. Just need to put life raft back up, add poles, bait, tackle, a few buddies, and some semi decent weather, we are good to go.  TT^

Can't wait!  bngh
