The boat received a new fresh water pump today – our 4th one. This time they ran all new wires, and so far so good! This is an important feature as it allows us to move the boat from the dock and still be able to use the head! Thursday night, Scot took this beautiful picture – it is the view from the back of our boat. We hope to go on a day cruise yet today, or on Sunday. Saturday’s weather looks to be cold and rainy.

We had a gorgeous day to enjoy the boat and cook out…Scot is trying out his new cast iron skillet on the grill. We had chicken stir fry for lunch!

We were scheduled to go in the water on Friday, May 1, but much to our pleasant surprise, QuarterDeck Marina (where we store and service the Ruff Life) launched her earlier in the week while we were out in Maryland babysitting my sister’s kids. Not only had they put us in early, they detailed the entire boat inside and out for us – complimentary! Needless to say, we are very appreciative of the extra attention and accommodations they give us! Here are some pictures of Ruff Life in her new slip (including night pictures).
