[S.V. Airlie]

I think this is it folks. Monday haul out, demast and packaged for shipping. Tuesday shipping.. to Portland...

[Uncle Duke]

Jamie - I wish I could be there to help, I'll send psychic hands instead. Nice to see forward motion...Good luck!

[paladin]

oregon izz a looooong way.........

[willmarsh3]

Looks like wonderful progress is being made. I'm looking forward to pictures.

I'm just curious though, is something like this shipped via the ferry from Yarmouth or is it driven through New Brunswick?

[reddog]

Where are you hauling her Jamie?

Earl

[Concordia...41]

[mmd]

Willmarsh, I'll step up and answer for Jamie...

The truck will go thru New Brunswick. The ferry will not have the overhead room to allow such a tall load onboard.

[Bark]

Photos, if you please.

[S.V. Airlie]

Willmarsh..
To add to mmd's comments... Taking Rte 9 to Bangor out of Calais ME and then down to Portland.
Pictures.. yes,,, sometime.. in the future..probably from Maine.

[willmarsh3]

Thanks for the answers. May the trip go well.

[S.V. Airlie]

okay! It is tough being Anal.. I think I have it down. Haul Monday.. Ship Tuesday to Falmouth ( Handy Yard. Launch.. or relaunch on Wed. Sounds good to me..

[essaunders]

route 9 is hilly. I hope the truck has good brakes!

[Bill R]

I'm in the Portland, ME area. PM/email me if you need anything.

[Bruce Hooke]

Good luck and safe travels!

[S/V Laura Ellen]

Good luck with the haul, transport and launch.
I hope you have an appropriate christening planned, only the best rum for Airlie!

[Mrleft8]

Bring bacon.... ;)

[Hwyl]

Technically, it's not Portland it's Falmouth. Probably see you there.

Nice sandwiches at the Public Market above Falmouth Public pier.

[seayou7]

...and the best sailing of the season is ahead. Fair winds.

[S.V. Airlie]

Actually, it is Falmouth Foreside for Handy's yard...:D

[Phil Heffernan]

Keep moving it on, Jamie, there's chance for glory yet!!!

[R.I.Singer30]

It sounds like the splinter is being removed finnally.Good Luck and "happy sails to you".and pictures please.Don't listen to the detractors here.Later DanL.

[Bill Griffin]

Good luck, Jamie. I understand Rt. 9 has been rebuilt, sans hills now.
Will look for Airlie in the bay soon, I'm hoping.

Looks like a couple of Ernest Hemingway look-alikes and a wanna-be.

[S/V Laura Ellen]

Jamie has got to get some more authentic looking line for those dead-eyes. The red tracing on the synthetic braid just doesn't cut it.

Pretty boat though!

[jverl]

Didn't ya know that facial hair is a MUST in these dar parts??? That would be Howard (HR) on the right, Jamie leaning over and the other good lookin' bloke would be me (jverl) :D:D Jamie will be changing the deadeye lines at Falmouth Allan - so don't fret ;)

[Jim Ledger]

Jverl, I forgot these:

;):D

[Paul Pless]

Pretty boat though!

Indeed!!!

[elf]

I see Jamie took our comments about his bare chin to heart.

'Bout time he took sumpin' we say to heart, if'n you aks me.

[Stiletto]

She's looking good! What a nice sheer.

Best wishes for the journey.

[Nanoose]

Very nice, Jamie!! :)

Perhaps a little too much red, white and blue, considering her Canadian heritage and all, but we'll let you get away with it this time ;)...as long as you keep her stocked with Canadian bacon so she doesn't forget where she's from! :eek:

[Gary Bergman]

roblon,roblon,roblon, more roblon!

[Hwyl]

Looks like clove hitches on those candystripe lanyards. Clove hitches indeed----harumph

[S/V Laura Ellen]

Perhaps a little too much red, white and blue,...


It will suit Jamie much better once the red fades to PINK.:D:D:D

I would lose the red if it was up to me.

[mmd]

I'm anxious for Jamie to get her into home waters, shaken out, tuned, and familiarized so we can hear back as to whether she is as fast as she is reputed to be.

[davidagage]

Jamie, We are so excited for you. I was looking at this thread and Claudia walked in and said, what a great looking boat, cool colors. Then I told her it was you and she got all jumpie...

Glad to see her in the water. Have a safe journey South, wish we could be there to help with the relaunch...

All the best

DG/CG and BS!!

[Hughman]

There was also a report on the radio this morning that there was a run at the Liquor store on "Propeller " beer

Well, that's a relief! ;)

Jamie, I can help you sort out all that raffle in the riggin'. :rolleyes:

[StevenBauer]

Great news! Give me a call when you get to town. I'lll pop by after work on Tuesday. Do you have the same cell phone number?

Steven

[Thad]

Looks great. This is today. Have a good trip.

[Bark]

Congratulations, Jamie. Very cool boat. Have a great trip.

Ben

[S.V. Airlie]

Masts pulled this AM.. If hauled this afternoon, will be placed on the truck. I am making the assumption that she will depart for Falmouth either tonight or tomorrow morning.
And yes, the lines will be changed. I got what I could find to replace the rotten ****p that were there. And I mean rotten!!!:eek:
Steven, I have a feeling that my cell phone won't work. I was not planning on being here in NS 3 months. Let's just say I owe a bill or two which will be paid when I get back to the US. An oversight..well...yes, I suppose. Had more things on my mind than Verizon.:rolleyes:

[S.V. Airlie]

Very nice, Jamie!! :)

Perhaps a little too much red, white and blue, considering her Canadian heritage and all, but we'll let you get away with it this time ;)...as long as you keep her stocked with Canadian bacon so she doesn't forget where she's from! :eek:


Nanoose. That ain't white.. it's umm.. Bristol Beige...:rolleyes::D

[elf]

It may be Bristol beige but it's white on the side of the house...

[Mrleft8]

Looks pretty good except for the lipstick red stripe. You never know about the phone Jaime, plug it in and see. Worst case scenario is: It won't work.

[shark_ef]

Good Luck Today!!!!!

[elf]

We wanna see pics of the truck leaving, now!

[S.V. Airlie]

Doug.. I was gonna have teeth around the hausepipes to warn off some idiot boaters to go with the red stripe. Heck, even as is, can see me coming and going...:rolleyes:
Elf pictures perhaps. The new owner is waiting for the wire transfer to come through. He thinks because the money is coming to him, it is direct and immediate. Then again, he is an ****! I have always paid on time.
So be it.. luckily the haulers are not too upset... when she goes she goes. So, perhaps tomorrow night...

[mmd]

Well now, wouldn't THAT rot yer socks!

Poor ol' Jamie has had nothing but delays, delays, delays here ever since he arrived. So the plan was, since the boat is s'posed to have her sticks pulled this morning, be hauled later today, and trucked tomorrow, that I'd get off work at four, beat it over to Chester Basin by five, and get a few photos of Airlie on the trailer (wanted to get pics of her underbody shape).

So today was the day that everybody was organized, efficient, and hard working. Got to the yard at 4:45 pm and there she was - GONE!

Damn.

G'luck Jamie! Hope all goes well on the transport and re-launch. Come back soon, y'hear?

[S.V. Airlie]

mmd plenty of time.. Stop by tomorrow.. See pm..
jamj

[JimD]

We'll stick a few maple leaf decals on her when he ain't lookin.

[jverl]

Now you all be good to Jamie when he hits southern waters! :rolleyes: Here's your proof Elf :D:

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7d609b3127ccebaa20e0c690200000027100KYtGbRyyYy

[Hwyl]

ETA for Falmouth?

[StevenBauer]

ETA for Falmouth?

Yeah. What Gareth said. Should I head over that way tonight? Or in the morning?

Steven

[reddog]

Steven;
I stopped and had a yarn with Jamie at noon today. Arilie was loaded and ready to go,as you can see in jverl's pic.He didn't think they would ship today but may have gotten that straightened out as she is gone now.He did say that due to the width they will not haul at night so I would expect them to be in your area sometime tomorrow.I believe Jamie will need a stiff drink when he arrives but at least he will be close to some capable and willing hands.I watched Arilie as Jamie motored her around Indian Point a while back and suspect she will surprise a few when rigged up and under sail.
Jamie was heading for New Brunswick last I spoke with him at noon.Jverl may have more recent news.

Earl

[jverl]

What Reddog said. Jamie left here at 1300 heading for Calais. I spoke with the truckdriver at 1345 and he was leaving this afternoon, but he can not drive at night due to width limitations. The assumption is if he left on time that he will be in Falmouth tomorrow sometime. Note that Jamie does not know yet whether Airlie left or not, he was going to wait at the border for her. The saga continues...:rolleyes:

[Thad]

She do look worthy indeed. Thanks and best to all especially Jamie.

[Lew Barrett]

Looks great Jamie. Happy sails to you.

[S/V Laura Ellen]

De-rig,hoist, load, haul, launch,rig.

3 down, 1 underway, 2 to go.
Way to go Jamie! May all your problems be minor and all your victories immense!

[Ian McColgin]

Bravissimo!

[jverl]

So did Jamie reach the yard (Handy's) or did Homeland Security pick him up at the border? :D:D

[Gary Bergman]

I'd look way better without that canuck homeport on her...Our bad luck went away when we removed the Halifax plate from our transom....

[rbgarr]

Jamie left here at 1300 heading for Calais. Watch out for those White Cliffs of Dover. It's a helluva drop. ;)

[Russ Manheimer]

Fair winds Jamie; sorry you couldn't make the SRR. Just think, you have 10 months to get ready for Mystic!

Best,

Russ

[Doug Wood]

I was heading out to my boat around 5:30 this evening and can report that Airlie has arrived and is in the slings ready for launch. She was still in the slings when I came back in so looks like tomorrow might be splash day.

[Hwyl]

Good news Doug and well worth repeating.

Steven and Mark were planning on sailing over there. I guess we can expect a report from them (I was invited but declined---a mistake)

[HR]

Glad to hear she made it - there was definitely some question about it yesterday!

[StevenBauer]

Well, we tried to sail over to see her but got such a late start and the big yellow ball is the sky was falling fast... We got about 3/4 of the way there and then tacked back to the mooring. So after some food we drove up to look for Jamie with no success. :( We found Airlie. And Jamie's Subaru. But no Jamie or pup. The waitress in the bar hadn't seen him either, now that's odd. :D

Here's proof that she's here:

[S.V. Airlie]
