Perigee's Move: She must go down to the sea
On the morning of her first day ever out of the shed, she waits patiently for her taxi to arrive.
... waiting waiting waiting...
Ooooo nice butt!
And suddenly she bursts forth into the world, the sun shining and the birds chirping... yippee!
Lots of room on this truck. The mast lies alongside to port. A good thing because at six metres it is just a smidge too big to carry on the garden trailer.
All set to go. I followed behind finding it hard to keep up with Mr Speedy Gonzales. My heart was in my mouth for the next 150 kilometres of driving... but...
he was in fact a very competent driver and quite adept at manoeuvring his truck, tray, and winch in close quarters. Here she is being unloaded into her new home at The Cruising Yacht Club of WA.
My good friend Roselt standing by the boat settled into her hard stand bay. Roselt is a long standing member of the club and has been a very kind and patient support to me, particularly on this day which I am glad to have behind me.
