That really does sound like a tough week. So nice the marina are sorting it, I am not sure I would have kept my cool with the travel lift guy like Coner did. Even with an SD card down you put together a good video, let hope you don't get hit in the yard too.

WOW! Thats a horror story! I think you handled it amazingly well given the situation. Probably a reflection on your business owning experience? Its really beyond belief that a travel lift operator would not know how critical sling placement is with catamarans in particular. Hopefully its just the shaft thats broken which is an easy fix, but definitely need a good mechanic to check it out fully. Its always a bugger to have your plans thrown out, but as you are discovering its a frequent thing with the cruising life! Main thing is to try to avoid letting deadlines affect your decision making around cruising. Good luck with all the work and getting on with cruising ASAP!

Man. Rough beginnings. Hope things smooth out.

I love how you always keep it real, don't always edit out an unhappy moment! Lying is one thing I hate, it is soooo hard to stomach when it is happening right in front of your face like that… It's so easy and yet so difficult to just say sorry but it is a good reminder for when it is my turn to just say sorry. I am hoping that this will turn out to be a blessing in disguise in many ways, getting things already done and checked off the boat repair list is always a good thing. Keep at it and enjoy your new home, she looks like an absolute beauty!

Sounds like God is trying to warn you of something

I enjoy following your families adventure! For piece of mind, I would hire an independent surveyor to check the insides of the saildrive, saildrive mount, and bellows, bell housing for cracks or damage, and engine mounts. You are semi-retired, slow down, hurricane season or not. Cruising is changing plans constantly (We left the US in 2022 and are now in Thailand, not the original plan), go with the flow. If you want something bad, that is exactly how you will get it.

Hang in there. When things are bad and you get through it. The sun is always brighter on the other side.

You guys are up against it. Your pals are in the ABCs. Which is where you want to be, but you’re stuck in a Florida shipyard with the clock ticking (18 days until the beginning of the hurricane season) with serious damage to your boat. You totally want your vessel to be in perfect shape to make that big crossing. Your kids are probably getting really restless. Yikes. That’s rough!
If the repairs take longer and longer, fighting you every minute, you might have to rethink. Go in December. That works. Put the boat in a very good ’on the hard’ type hurricane hole, and summer in the Sawtooths.
But, if the repairs all go together quickly , and 10 days from now you’re leaving Freeport , yahoo! The sea gods smiled, and you’re making the run of your life.
(I vote for that one !)

The guy running the lift that didn't speak English was probably an illegal. You could call ICE and have that guy deported. Just saying.

Oh man, hang in there guys. From the video, it looked like the collision was more the fault of the yellow tugboats. How does responsibility work in that case?
