We had some serious low tides this morning, so we put of pulling Wild Blue out until around noon. Joan and I work together to make this easy: she pulls the truck and trailer to the ramp and backs in down into the water; I bring the boat around (it's about a mile to the ramp) and pull it right onto the trailer, where she is waiting to clip it on and winch it snug. I pull the rig out, then we work together to clean it up and get it ready for the road or to be put away.
I held my breath as the boat came out, anxious to see how the new bottom paint did... it's been just over two months.
Looks great! A little slime here and there that washed off with very little scrubbing. With the motor flushed, the boat and trailer hosed down thoroughly (salt water can be hard on a trailer if you don't flush it thoroughly), we strapped the boat down, put away lines and fenders, and headed off to the storage lot.
She looks rather regal amongst the mostly RV neighbors. Back home and just enough time to put away fenders and lines from the boat and dock before I had to head out to photograph some family portraits for some friends.
Busy days; we're right on schedule.
