Over the two weeks that Kosmos was in the boat yard, Eric was very focused on boat chores and errands related to the boat (ie trips to West Marine), and did little by way of social activities and/or sightseeing. There was a Nordhavn 40 in the yard, and one evening, Eric had dinner with the owner. On Sunday, when the boat yard was closed, Eric went back to turtle sanctuary. The turtles that lived there were unable to be re-released into the wild.

As noted in the boatyard summary post, Kosmos was put back in the water on Friday, June 6. However, the work wasn’t done yet. There was more to be done in the water.

The first order of business was the slip. Yacht Tech had a slip reserved for us behind their office at Old Port Cove, but there was another Nordhavn in it that needed to be moved. On Friday, before Kosmos was put back in the water, Eric helped to move the other boat to a marina a little farther north. Kosmos went back into the water at the end of the day, and Eric took her straight to the slip at Old Port Cove.

These birds were hanging out around the Old Port Cove complex.

While in the yard, in order to access the various spaces onboard that had needed to be worked in, Eric had emptied many of the storage spaces and had just shoved that stuff anywhere he could find space, such as Keith’s bed, on the couches, and in the showers. Eric spent Saturday putting stuff away to make the boat livable again. But he couldn’t put everything away, since more work was scheduled to be done and some access areas needed to stay open. He also prepared for the next round of work to be done.

Christi and Keith flew back to West Palm Beach on Saturday evening. The flight back was uneventful. We were all happy to be reunited.
