Summary
Amanda spent time checking through her work list and organising the outstanding tasks into those to be done before packing the boat up for the summer, those she would do at home and those to be done when she returned to Jacksonville next fall. The immediate list was just about clear when her father returned.
Adam Caldwell returned from his trip on the Knick-Knack and talked about ideas that had given him for changes to his new boat Moonshadow. He also said he'd decided he'd be taking the Moonshadow to Blanche Tickle and then down the east coast to get back to Florida in November after hurricane season. Amanda said she'd love to do that trip but would be too busy with the fishing boats to consider it.
Cody used the crane to lift the Rag Doll out of the water so they could clean the underwater growth off the hull. She also lifted the mast out and back in after some maintenance had been done on it. Later she lifted the Knick-Knack out onto its trailer. Jake asked what Adam was going to do with Knick-Knackand they agreed he'd take it to Winchester Harbor where Jake could keep an eye on it and put a "For Sale" sign on it.
On their last day Amanda, Jake and Zack covered the Rag Doll with tarps for the summer and emptied Amanda's storage shed into their two vehicles to take back north. In the evening they were joined by Ron and Cordy for dinner. Afterwards Amanda and Zack had a long goodbye and were looking forward to seeing each other again in November.
