We finally put on the new name "Zingara" Port Whitby last Friday, what a beautiful sunny day it was, blue sky.....
So we removed the ladder brackets, Doug on the inside of the stern, I on the outside, then we measured and applied the 65" wide name. Than we had to re-install the ladder brackets...well, we used 5200 on the screws & got that all screwed back together, went to attach the ladder & oh oh, it wouldn't attach on one side....ugh...we had the brackets on the opposite sides...so we had to remove the brackets & re-install....trying not to get 5200 on the new decal...it went on Doug's chin hairs instead, but blended in nicely as his goatee already has quite a few white hairs!
We got her all done (luckily they were running behind at the Marina), now she was ready to launch, which was tricky as she was in a tight area. All went well, and she is safely afloat at her temporary dock at Beacon Bay.
Saturday we scrubbed her topsides & attached the bimini & dodger with her new windows, wow! She sparkles!
Saturday night, we had our first guests aboard, our friends Christine & Terry, and there was absolutely no wine spillage on Zingara! On Sunday, we took her out for a test sail, she just glides!

Lol! That's funny, Zingy Dinghy...actually "Zingy" is a good name....we thought of the name "sweet cheeks" & putting the "w" in the shape of bum cheeks with a little bikini bottom on it!
