Life in the Tree House


La Le Lu was hauled out at Cape Canaveral without incident (phew!) last Saturday and now sits in the yard. The bottom looks pretty darn good for a 19 year old girl! We had a few minor hull repairs prior to new bottom paint - but nothing significant. The word on the rudder is not in yet. When we got her out of the water there was a noticable amount of play in the rudder. Hopefully it is not the rudder bearing. We are starting with replacing the rudder bolts and restuffing the packing gland. With any luck, that should do it and she'll be ready for splash next weekend.
