After 10 busy days we are finally ready to launch Scorpio, again. This is the 22nd time in 23 years, and the event has taken place in 20 different locations. During the first 20 years we did all the work ourselves, but nowadays we hire contractors to do most of the dirty work (cleaning, sanding, painting).
I may be a bit biased, but looking at the photos below, I think Scorpio looks as this could be a virgin splash 😉
We were scheduled for launch today, October 31, but decided to postpone a few days. There are very few spots at the docks of this “marina”, and as we are not quite ready to move on yet, we will stay on the hard a little longer for final preparations for setting sail. Interestingly, looking back at previous posts of this blog, I discovered that last year Scorpio was launched on this very day.
