Back in the water!

Liquidity was launched on April 25th, and last I checked was happily floating in slip I24 at Marina Bay. I20's a bit occupied, as the marina's been installing new "J" docks, and the old docks and pilings are taking up my official space, but no complaints.

The Beta was a bit cranky with fuel flow, but otherwise started routinely. Batteries seem to have survived the winter just fine.

The boat's fully stocked, with most of what goes back on board loaded while still on the hard. Sails went on last week, in easy weather, and I managed a night on board despite cool overnight temperatures. With my annual trip to Stop & Shop behind me, both dinner and breakfast were prepared on board.

Small Change inflated and stayed that way (with a small leak in the floor I need to find) and carried the last of the gear from the ramp to the slip the old fashioned way.

Tested the Torqeedo outboard; the battery started the winter at 100% and is starting the season at 99%. That's amazing!

Cleaning continues. Can sailing be far behind?
