Offcuts & Tailings... Haulout!
We hauled on early morning tide and spent 6 days sanding, puttying, and painting. Then it was back down the railway and back to our berth so the fun can continue!
We replaced 3 short planks on the Starboard side while we were hauled out. Mike Rodgers made short work of it and it came out beautifully.
Tyler all suited up to give the bottom a good coat of paint.
Looking better everyday, lots of steady hands with paint brushes and rollers add up to make quite the finished product!
Nate, Courtney, Asher, Tyler and John keeping us all smiling
What a bunch we all are,
so photogenic too! Well sometimes anyway....

Ahhhh thats better....Steaming off into a sunset to cap off just another day out on the bay. We will be back there so soon
An evening picnic on Hells half acre. A place that certainly (and thankfully) doesn't live up to its name and is just the right size to circumnavigate while the lobsters are steaming.
