Good decision Never wait to do the things you want to do. Time is too short.we'd been planning for this move to happen next year, but your quote above, combined with 'why wait?' made us decide to go earlier.
That isn't my quote though, it's from my friend Jimmy Buffett's song. Here are the lyrics if you haven't heard it.

Tim, again a great launch, and as D2 said practice makes perfect doing it during the slow times is great if you can. The 3 straps, 2 rear, 1 to the bow eye are the minimum, I also like one or two over the gunnels to hold it down to the trailes better, I don't remember if you had any there.
Hey good luck on the move home! From the pictures I have seen of it it is a vast and beautiful place with different climates depending where you are located. One item we have come across in the forum is that the South African builders need two motors on their boats by law. Something you might want to start looking into as the time draws near. Your C17 should be great down there, I can just see you hooking into a Great White.
