That's it, it's a wrap.

 Our 2009/2010 season has ended. Freedom is up on the hard and will stay that way for the Summer into next Fall.

 She 'dun us proud' again this year, taking us around the Bahamas more than in the prior year but at least she didn't have to run the ICW this year. With that it was just about exactly 100 hours on the engines to run from West Palm to Lucaya, up the canal and around to the Abacos, back around the bank and down to the Berry Islands, to Bimini and back to the U.S.
 But the years are adding up on her and as a result we have some work to do once the Summer is over and the next boating season approaches.
 I have to admit she's in pretty good hands now. The folks that hauled her out were the first people to put a level on her swim platform to check their blocking. As a result, when the doors are opened up now they swing aft and point exactly aft. This is something that has never happened in the 10 years we've had Freedom stored on the hard.
 That and the shrink wrapping is second to none. It comes just about all the way down to the boot stripe. Given that we are much more confident we won't have to worry about critters getting into the vents etc.. And they have this covering all the way over the dink and pulled tight!
 So once again it's a wrap.
