After 4 months on the hard in Grenada for hurricane season, we get everything ready and splash our Tartan 37, SV Holiday, back in the water at Clarke's Court Boatyard and Marina.

We had the same ride on the boat lift in CC back in December 2019. Fun but also very weird being on a 35 ton boat, floating in the air. I think CC is one of the best boatyards I've been on, loads of qualified companies on the yard. A chandlery, although not very well stocked they can order almost anything pretty fast for being in Grenada. Okay the yard is a bit dusty/dirty but there are pretty nice showers and toilets and the bar/restaurant is very nice.

[@Funonholiday]

Totally agree on everything you say! Nice boat yard for sure

I hope this year has more Lindy cooking than last year. Ha Ha.

[@Funonholiday]

I was just messing around with the next episode and lots of cooking! Ep 2 coming soon!

@@Funonholiday Thank you. Ya'll are a lot of fun.

Yeah it’s so nice , living on a boat . Did you lift your center board when you got back in the water or in the slings , ours is so heavy without the buoyancy aid of the water to help getting it back up .

[@Funonholiday]

We lifted it in the slings. Ours is about the same effort as far as I can tell.

You’re back! Which four months did you take off from the boat?

[@Funonholiday]

Sep, Oct, Nov, and Dec this time

[@magdakaniewski]

[@Funonholiday]

Thanks! We cruised up the chain to Antigua. Lots of good episodes coming!

Hey Zack and Lindy... glad to see you back! Daryle A. here, i also have a T37 (1981) hull 306, Rambunctious. Pretty close production to yours. Been working on here for a couple years now, prepping for our Caribbean retirement. Got a question for you... when i got her, the shower sump was missing, and the drain hoses were cut. could you maybe post a couple pictures of your shower sump setup? i dont want to keep draining the shower into the bilge. I would be happy to send you my email addy if needed. thanx in advance.

[@Funonholiday]

Hey Daryle! Yeah, shoot me an email at zmdunc @ Gmail . com and I'll reply with a pic of it. Pretty sure ours is original because it's a crummy open top box with an inlet and an outlet on it and a float switch in it. Basically anything would be better than it. Lol. But, it does fit the space which is what matters, I guess.
