Dock Queen...

*Doesn't she look pretty with her mast and rigging all up?
**This is sort of a sketchy picture taken in complete darkness, still getting use to all the settings on our camera

Got the mast and the main sail up today. Very relieved that this is finally done. I didn't get any pictures of the actually stepping of the mast because it was an 'all hands on deck' sort of ordeal, but we pulled it off without a hitch, which is unusual for this boat. Now Dreamer Blue will be sitting pretty at the dock here for about a week or so until we put some finishing touches on her before we set sail. I must say though, that I am really loving Rock Hall, and now that we are at the dock, we get full power, water, shower facilities and free wifi, it's a little comfortable. Although, it was a bit nippy here today, and after spending all day outside was super looking forward to a hot shower, only to be met by a very cold shower, like polar dip cold. After messing around with it for what seemed like an eternity, I realized that the sink housed hot water, so I gave up and washed my hair in the sink. Not the easiest of tasks but so worth the clean hair, actually feel like a proper woman again. When Erik returned from his shower, I watched him come down the dock expecting some profanity to spew from his mouth, only to see him stretch and yawn in relaxation. Turns out he had a hot shower, 'scorching hot', were his words. Might be showering in the men's room tomorrow.
