Dragonsinger Goes Back in the Mediterranean

I woke up early this morning anticipating putting Dragonsinger back into the Mediterranean. I arrived back at Yat Lift to see Dragonsinger with a fresh coat of bottom paint and a polished hull. Late in the morning Dragonsinger was launched. For the first time ever I safely single-handled her into the marina in Bodrum.

The rudder was repaired over the winter

Dragonsinger wanders around the yard

Finally making its way towards the sea
