ICW Delivery

Just back from helping a friend move his Creakmore 34 from Baltimore Md. to Pawleys Island SC. with a stop at the Whitby/Brewer rendezvous on the West River, Chesapeake.   Always nice to be doing what boats are meant to be doing, i.e. moving.

Arch has arrived in Miami....

Someone must look after sailors and stupid people.   After a 300 mile highway journey at speeds reaching 70MPH, the pin fell out of the tow hitch at 2MPH, 1/2 mile from our marina.  Two minutes of a three stooges routine and a screwdriver got us back on the road. 

Chain Plates installed......

That's them done and dusted, forever.

Damn you Mr. eBay.....

I just bought this (the arch, not the boat);

Now I just have to move it from North Florida to Miami and install it.

Titanium chain plates have arrived....

The expensive ones are on the left.

I'm really happy with the service from Allied Titanium and if anyone is contemplating this route I have no reservations in recommending this gentleman who has provided outstanding service thorough the process;

Steering completed......

Bottom photo shows 2000 revs, full ahead.

Guru Jim is back in town, otherwise it wouldn't have been done.

Working at the speed of a striking slug.......

You know you are in trouble when the A/C controls shows this temperature when you switch it on after arriving onboard.

Managed to remove the last of the locker lining pegboard in the vee berth and replaced with 1/8" PVC sheet.

 

For any Whitby owners pegboard removal is an easy upgrade and removes the musty locker smell.  The holes in the pegboard does not provide any more ventilation, IMHO, than the PVC sheet.
