Voyage 2006-2007: Chapter 2

1 Oct 2006, Moony is Back, 38 46.590 N/ 076 33.930 W

We picked up Denise and Wolfgang at the airport as they arrived from Germany. The gang headed back to Herrington Harbour North to ready Jule III and Moony for their voyages. Lilli Ann visited the yard and said hi to Moony. Poor Collin could not come as he was attending school. Her visit was brief and the crews had to get back to boat projects.

Jule III continues her upgrades. A refurbished galley was completed with a new ice box, new oven, and new countertop. The autopilot upgrade ($$$) was completed but we will have to wait until out voyage to complete testing. Over the past several days, we tested the navigation lights, pumps, communications, power plants, and other systems. During all of this fun, we decided to go to the Annapolis Boat Show.

9 Oct 2006, Annapolis Boat Show '06, 38 46.590 N/ 076 33.930 W

The crews of SV Moony and SV Jule III attended the boat show on Saturday. Of course we picked the day where it was raining and the tides were so high that much of the area was flooded. We managed to see Butch (Shiver Me Timbers) and Vicki (Integrity Yacht Sales) at their booths. Sadly, we missed John C (our old rigger) and John M (the kind gentleman who was Jule III's broker). We noticed that the new boats were getting bigger, more plastic, and more expensive. We will stick with what we have.
