Last week I moored Alana alongside my coast guard cutter (Grand Isle) in order to load seat cushions and other items I didn't want to try hauling in the dingy. She is now laying to her mooring at Hawthorne Cove Marina in Salem, MA where she will spend the next few months.
Today I installed a new radar antenna and tidied up the wiring of both the radar and Sirius antennas in the lazarette. After working for a couple hours I enjoyed relaxing in the cockpit watching the other boats come and go.
Alana's now about 80% of the way to where I want her. We're down to the details now.
You may have noticed "The Head." She is disturbing to some, but I find her to be somewhat of a lucky talisman. She is an expert sailor and has accompanied Mike (my brother) and me on a number of charters. I hope to take her along on my future travels. She is a good companion and frankly, I'm a little scared to disrespect her; she has a mean streak.
