Sovereign went into the water today


After a year on land and working every weekend for the past month, Sovereign went into the water today. Special thanks to Neil Haynes-Blue Water Surveys, Larry Knapp - Charleston City boat yard, Randy Thompson, Mike of Mike and Larry, Boat U.S., and Brian Davey. Larry Knapp at the boat yard is a great guy and gave us a lot of good advice and excellent service.
Our next step is to bring her safely to the Charleston City Marina. I'm waiting here in Knoxville for the new Garmin hand-held GPS with Charts. Mike is making sure that everything is going well in Charleston.
We've ordered the AirHead Composting toilet. I can't wait till that comes in. Climbing down the 10 ft. ladder in the middle of the night and walking to the restroom is not fun.

    All kidding aside, she's beautiful. Have you sold everything yet?
