It's been a typical May on the coast of Maine. A nice warm day here and there bracketed by rain and cool days. The biggest factor is the cold ocean temperatures. Even on a nice day, out on the water can be very, very cool. I'll take a day on the water in October over one in May, any day, on the coast of Maine.
Besides, I kind of enjoy watching all the boat launchings as I get my boat ready to launch in few days. As well as the travel lift, hydraulic trailers launch boats all day long right now. For those not familiar with this method, the big rigs roll around a circle in our Marine Park, and back down to the tidal water. Just shy of the tractors back wheels getting wet, the driver throws a switch and un-hooks the trailer, and operates the winch to lower the trailer down the launching ramp.
Once he see's the hull begin to float, the driver lowers the hydraulic poppets. The boat owner guides his floating boat back and ties off, the driver winches his trailer back in, and he's headed out. This time of year, it's not uncommon for another trailer and boat (+50'ers are not unusual), to be waiting in the circle for the ramp.
This trailer wasn't here for more than 10 minutes before he was off to pick up another boat.
This 1962 Friendship sloop (influenced) design was built in Camden Maine. It's a working boat that does day charters.
