A new Sailing Season!!!!
Today, La Buena Vida was launched - for another season.

Rustwork, painting, painting, painting, polishing the hull (times 3!) ... and she was ready for another season.

At 20:00 hours, we finally got the crane to take her off the stands and into the water. This time we took a couple of pictures to show the location of the straps. When we lift her out, it is always a guessing game where exactly the straps should be located ... and if they are not in the right place (especially the rear ones), they are in the way of the pads, and we have to put her back and attempt another lift.

This time we took pictures to show the crane operator and his crew where goes what!

And we got Lift-Off!!!

We look forward to our sails! Finally, summer is here again!
