And so we begin the final leg of our trip to our home port of Boston Harbor where My Diva will begin a transformation into Live Wire. To the crew that brought her from Florida to Boston she will be forever known as "The Diva." The vessel that needed caressing, cajoling and constant pampering to keep her in line. But she has proudly lived up to the Hatteras reputation and has proved to be a seaworthy and sound vessel. She rides low in the water and handled everything the North Atlantic tested her with and delivered us with ease, safely to our home port. It has been a trip of a lifetime and as mother nature does, time will cloud out things such as the holding tank being full, leaking rudder and cutlass bearings, leaky windows and all the little things and nuisances that kept us occupied while bringing her home.
And as we pull into the dock the Captain will speak into the radio one last time--This is the motor vessel My Diva standing by on channel one six. Over and out.
Wonderful Blog and great running dialogue of this very cool adventure!!
ReplyDeleteMy only comment is that is there were nothing to / fix up on the way home, I very much expect that Brian and you would not have had nearly as much fun and would have been bored too!
