Hi Guys,
Ava here 🙂
It’s truck week! And listen—I never thought these words would come out of my mouth, but we actually had a lot of fun working on the truck last week. She’s coming along nicely, and it’s amazing what some new carpet and a little reupholstery can do. We know truck life is a bit different from boat work, but we hope you enjoy this week's video just the same.
In real-time news: if you can believe it—there is a trailer under Spiffy as we speak! We’re just as shocked as you are. Thankfully, there was another trailer in the yard that she fits on, so we no longer have to wait for the one that’s still occupied.
Albert (the yard owner) slid the trailer underneath on Wednesday, and we’ve been prepping ever since. Fingers crossed, she’ll be fully secured by the end of today. It’s a big step, but just the first of many.
Next, Albert has to find someone to tow the boat from the yard to our splash site. Once that’s in place, we can finally book the crane. With the 4th of July coming up, we don’t expect much to happen next week, so we’re aiming for the second week of July—again, fingers crossed.
Once we have the crane booked, we’ll feel good about making a quick road trip up to Oriental to drop off some of our stuff. In the meantime, we’re tidying up the inside of Spiffy, getting her ready to move aboard, and wrapping up a few more truck projects.
Things are finally moving in the right direction. Thanks so much for following along—and we hope you have a great weekend! 🚐⚓
