I am lucky enough to have the most supportive family imaginable. After an epic roadtrip south with my dad, i arrive at the boatyard where Eleanor Tarr has lived. I nearly scaled the fence, the yard was closed for the night. I could see her, so i just called to her like a maniac.

Thanks for all the support friends!! I’ll keep you in the loop
Today I was aboard S.V. Eleanor Tarr for the first time in 37 months.
She’s mint. Dry bilges, all electronics are functioning, rig perfect, sails perfect, engine started, I couldn’t be more elated.
I had pictured 10000 nightmare scenarios.
Her wooden cabin trunk has been attacked by the sun. Coatings are beginning to fail, but no damage yet.
Launch in t minus 40 hours.
