So we did get Sum Escape launched on May 2, and given Tom' need for rotator cuff surgery and the anticipated long recovery Julie polished up her docking skills. She did around 20 -25 docking maneuvers at 5 different marinas with about 10 of the dockings here at Terrace Point. As many know, she regularly docked the Sea Ray but this was a first with the Grand Banks. She did awesome. So once we are at the boat on a nice day we should be able to go out!
Surgery went well and Tom is now 2-1/2 weeks after surgery. Physical therapy (torture?) starts on Thursday this week. He has been told that 3-5 months after surgery is the greatest risk of overdoing and re-injury. So will need to be very careful but still plan to leave on the Loop in late August/ early September.
Have spent a few nights on the boat the last couple weeks relaxing and having others help out with the last of the maintenance and modifications on the list.
Here is Julie's brother Kevin helping out with the installation of a new teak refrigerator vent.
Needed a softer bed for the shoulder, so here is Todd helping out by cutting a memory foam to size.
So recovery isn't so bad.... a nice spot on the "porch" after all the help from friends and family! All nestled down at Terrace Point for now.....
First night at marina....what a sunset!! May 2. As you can see, not too many boats then!
