Back in the Water!

I am pleased to report that Midnight Sun II is now back in the water.  She was launched on Tuesday of this week and the new mast and goodies were lifted into place!
On the way back to the water!
A great thanks to the staff at Pensacola Ship Yard for taking care of her.  Midnight Sun II pictured above on the way to be launched after being in the shipyard since November.  While waiting on the new mast, she had a  new bottom job, non-skid surfaces repainted, decks and hull polished and a new cutlass bearing installed, new safety lines........to mention some of the work..  A big thanks to Steve Stack and the staff of Advanced Yachtworks for their hard work! Great job guys!

New mast being lifted
 Zern Rigging raising the mast and starting work setting up the new standing rigging.  Hopefully she will be sailing again soon with new sails being delivered from Schurr Sails next week.  New canvas (bimini, dodger, and full enclosure are being worked on currently by Peaden Marine Canvas.
New mast in place, working on rigging
So we should be sailing by next weekend - fingers crossed!  Or at least very very close.  This will still leave us a fair bit of work to do checking out everything before we set off for Mexico in early May.
