Chris here; arrived in Dania Beach from Little Rock yesterday. The goal was to conduct a sea trial on our boat that has been on the hard (as they say) last several days to replace cutlass bearings, clean and treat bottom with anti-fouling paint, remove props clean and apply speed coat, Compound and polish hull etc.

Great lesson on Boating the plan must always be flexible so instead of Sea Trial double the lines added chafing and button down the hatches as we are faced with our first tropical storm Alex impacting southern Florida.
