Michael and I have been preparing our sailboat, Hope, for being back where boats belong — back in the water.
The past few weeks have had their moments — some admittedly hard and some sublime.
First, some context: Hope had been stored out of the water (“on the hard”) in Indiantown, FL for the past three years as the previous owners, Kevin and Velma, who live in Alberta had hoped to return and sail Hope again, but weren’t able to, so reluctantly sold their beloved boat.
