Salvage



The insurance company did indeed swing into action.
This shows the airbags and the white pump hoses on
deck on Sunday.  The pump out began and the vessel raised.
Monitored overnight by one of the salvage crew who lives at a nearby marina, the boat stayed dry indicating there was no breach of the hull.
The insurance company, surveyor and salvage crew have done a great job, quickly.  I've been kept
informed by everyone about what has taken place.

Below you can see how she looked yesterday...newly painted cabin sides glistening white, sail cover in place, basically as I left her.  Assessment is supposed to be later today, and I plan to be there next Sunday.  What doesn't show is the condition of the Perkins, air conditioner, radar and other electronics,  reefer, etc. plus all the goodies I had below...tool sets, power tools, even stuff like foulies, kitchen utensils and the myriad of things accumulated by the previous owners for voyaging.    I don't know how we'll come out of this, but I'm still better off than those who lost homes and businesses.
