Lauch Update

Still Time went in the water at approximately 3pm.
I drove her over to my slip, and got back to the lauch dock to work.
We finished a little after 5pm.

When I went back to the dock, there was maybe 1/2 cup of water around the aft keel bolts.
I quickly wet vacuumed it up, wondering if it was coming up throught the keel joint/bolts.

After some refreshments, boating chit chat in the clubhouse, I returned, and the bildge was still dry.

What I think happened was she might have been on the cradle at a slight angle forward/aft, and some water may have poolws elsewhere.  When she was launched, this water moved to the lowest part of the hull (the bilge).

We stayed on the boat on Saturday night, it was a little cold, but the ceramic heater kept us toasty.
