Astraea Arrives in the Chesapeake

In June, 2010, Astraea was trucked across country to her new home in the Chesapeake Bay in Gaylesville, Maryland where she is now berthed on the West River at Hartge Yacht Harbor.  She was first taken to a boat yard in San Diego where her masts were unstepped, all her rigging removed, all stanchions, lifelines, and other topside parts removed and she was prepared for her long trip across country by truck.  She was then picked up by the professional boat movers of J. Daniel Marine Trucking.  Here are some pictures of her trip across country by land.
