Arrived in Berkeley!

On the truck in Berkeley
Finally the boat made it to the West Coast! We got a little bit in a snow storm in Nebraska and Wyoming, so the exterior is pretty dirty now. Everything else seems fine, the mast was nicely wrapped and there is just one minor scratch that needs to be fixed. Unfortunately the Norwalk boat yard did a lousy job cleaning the bottom, so there were a bunch of barnacles left. Consequently, the California border inspection quarantined the boat and I need to get it re-inspected before it goes into the water. Since Constance needs a new bottom paint job anyways, that shouldn't be a big deal, it just going to cost me some time to get it released I guess.
