Moonshadow departed Hampton VA on Nov 3, a full day ahead of schedule.  After analyzing the weather forecasts, the rally office determined that a good weather window exists for the next several days and that it's best to leave early rather than late.

Moonshadow was delayed a couple of hours while a technician came on board to tweak some of the new electronics.  After eveything checked out they left the dock at about 3:30pm.

July 20, 2012.  Finally, after a nine and a half month refit we finally have left Bert Jabin's at 1:00 pm.  The weather is not favorable so, we made only to a mooring right out from the marina.  We wanted to leave by 9:30 this morning, however we had a few contractors that finished up a few things.  It still feels great not to be tied up to a dock.  Thank you MRP Refits, Marine Electrical Services, Horton Marine, Bay Shore Marine, M Yachts, and Annapolis Gel coat & Repair for all the hard work and helping our dream come true. 

 We have met a lot of fun people in the yard in the past 8 months.  This particular night we managed to have 11 people in our cockpit for sun downers.  From left to right is:  Hayet, Piote, Dan, Paul, Peter, James, Melissa, Lloyd, Simon, Vincent, and of course I was the one taking the picture.  It was a great evening!
