Anyone else's boatyard shutdown? went down this morning and found a note on a locked gate. "Closed until further notice due to Coronavirus, call the office with any questions"..
Crowleys Boat Yard in Chicago puts on a big party every spring, putting on seminars, boat auction, flea market and VC17 paint sale.
It was supposed to be tomorrow (March 21).
I called last week, and found out that they postponed “Yacht-palooza”. I asked about the paint sale...and was told to come in to the ship store any time during regular hours... so I planned to go tomorrow to get paint and other supplies.
Today at 3:00, Illinois was put a “Stay at home” order in place...so I ran out to the ship store and grabbed my 3 quarts of VC17 and magnesium shaft anode so I can get boat ready to splash.
Now, if my only marina doesn’t close down before April 1, when it is supposed to open.
Gotta get the boat wet before things shut down completely...I need my social distance on the lake!
