Blue Horizon & Boulder

 We got to the warehouse to find someone had put our Baby in the Corner!  You can't even see Blue Horizon, but she is behind this boat on the left (stage/warehouse right?).

Using Rick for scale - like an iceberg, she's bigger on the bottom then the top. 

Here is the delightful way we have to get up into her.  And carry heavy boxes.  I convinced Rick that, even tho we are spry 23-year-olds, it might make sense to WAIT until the boat is in the water to put things on it.  Hand things down, as opposed to up. Sense prevailed. 

Winter Harbor has been doing some (expensive) work on the boat - and this is how they have left it.  I hope the work gets done sometime in the next week...  Remember - they had ALL WINTER to work on it.

Our friend Mike is working on his own boat - that is one way to make sure it gets done on time.  He is VERY careful about Covid - so, as it turns out, it is a good thing we did NOT go up that ladder.

We had barely gotten a glimpse of the boat when it was time to jet off to Boulder, for the 100th birthday of my Uncle Ric.  For those of you who care (love you, Kim and Dottie, and now, Linda!) my father is the youngest of 7 brothers, and Ric is next oldest from my dad.  76, yes - seventy-six, Bradleys are arriving in Colo Springs for his birthday.  And 4 days of Extreme Peopling (as Kim calls it) will ensue.

In an unfortunate turn of events, I felt a head-cold coming on.  Think how mad/dumb I am going to feel in 2 days when my sister-in-law tells me to go get tested for Covid...
