Step 5: Launch
It had been a pretty steady pace for several days working on the boat. The guys were crawling all over her in dirty, greasy shoes. I tried not to get too excited about it, laying down broken down cardboard boxes to protect her decks. They never seemed to stay put, so I gave up and concluded that in the end this dirt shall pass. Chis came down for the weekend and to help with a few things. It was great. We got the keys for the new house in Menlo Park, and stayed a couple of nights there, on an inflatable mattress that our friends lent us.
