Underway!!

At long last, "Elixir" is underway!  Today was a momentous day as for the first time in a very long time, and the first time for us, "Elixir" got underway!  With her new transmission, she was no longer stuck to the pier.



Our first cruise was a whopping 300 foot trip to the fuel dock, where fellow boaters like Don (in blue shirt), were on hand to view something some of them had never seen - "Elixir" underway!   Ron is filling the port fuel tank.


With fuel in her belly, "Elixir" cruises DeLegal Creek in Savannah, Georgia.  Her happy and excited crew of two take in the sights and celebrate months of hard work getting "Elixir" running again.  I have to say, even though there is a lot more work to do, she is looking pretty good compared to when we bought her!
Pretty soon, you will see us and "Elixir" sailing off into the sunset!
