Maiden voyage!!! 3 years in the making!

I'm so thrilled, I just had to post again today! 

Here's the "before" photo from February, 2014:







Duane finished installing the brake controller - so it was time to take the Avion out to calibrate the controller. 

Amazing - we parked the Avion almost exactly 3 years ago in it's spot in the hangar.  (I will admit that we didn't do much on the trailer during 2015...busy sailing....)

Other than jacking it up and down, it hasn't moved all that time.  It's been a long process - but we're intimately  familiar with the entire trailer now!!




We made sure everything inside was stowed properly -  and Duane attached all the towing "bits".  





Buttoned up and ready to go!!





Just a little 10 mile local loop - brake controller worked well - everything behaved as expected....even blew a little dust off!  




 It was too chilly today to wash it - but tomorrow may be much warmer.  Will be nice to pull it back out and wash off all the "hangar grime".   

We have a "short list" of things to finish before we can take it out camping!
