Here she is tied up at the jetty where she will hopefully be for years to come.  We made the journey from up-river yacht club to the marina with the escort assistance of the Fremantle Sea Search & Rescue boat.  While every system was checked and double checked this was first time in the water with new motor (the electric drive), untested main battery bank, bow thruster, new rudder and with the 2 masts strapped to the cabin roof, she would be vulnerable to other boats wakes and tidal rush etc.  As it happens we got her down river and safely tied up without a hitch.  Masts will come off and be cleaned up etc and mid Feb should see the first journey under sail.

We re-floated It's The Serenity Monday and spent the next 2 days prepping for the run down river to the pen.  Getting the masts from their not so clean storage place, up against the back fence of the yacht club, to the Etchel crane wharf then on board was a challenge but like all cruising yachties, we triumphed.

In the time we were tied up over the last 2 days we had countless visitors admiring the boat, the paint job and the fact that she was finally floating again after 3 years.  Many weekends of hard work paid off as we wallowed in the warmth of the admirers.
