The Haul Out

We set off for the boat yard early Monday morning for our 12:30 appointment for haul out.  We expected it to take approximately 4 hours using the electric motor and figuring in some extra time to go through the Ortona Lock.  We made it right on time.  As stated in my last post, the next project was to finish wiring the panels.  Carter took advantage of the 4 hour trip to get some of this work done.

I'm sure this is 'old hat' for some of you out there but this is all new to me and it was facinating.

There was much discussion about where to place the straps.

She's out and ready to be cleaned up.

And now to go to our spot in the yard for the next couple days.

With the twin keels it was pretty simple to block it up and set her down.

Not too many barnacles.

But there were quite a few oysters on the keel cooler.

Carter worked the first part of the day scraping the oysters off and detailing it out.

Nice job.

There is just so much more work to be done!
