The project list dwindles -- Finally

[dparilla]

After some prep work, our haulout went without a hitch. :dance:
I had 6 volunteers over 3 days helping me with the effort. I can't thank them enough, though it is amazing what pizza and beer can accomplish.
I also need to thank MaineSail and Stu Jackson for their guidance and expertise. Gentlemen, I owe you a beer or two at least.

Dan,

WOW! Glad we could help. Go sailing, the rest can wait!

If anyone is wondering, we used PoliGlow on the hull. Did it last spring, and decided to keep it. I have been very pleased with the result, as the last picture showcases. I would be happy to provide the "Monkey Approved" hull preservation process if anyone is curious.

All that in 3 days?!?! What's next? Rising from the dead?

Mark me down as "very, very impressed."

Counting the prep days it was 5 days total, so not quite up to the Lazarus effect, but long days and many hands. I am off watch tomorrow and Tuesday so I will be underway as early as I can.

Sounds Like some good planning too. Personally, I hate seeing boats on the hard longer than they need to be.
