Annual haul out and makeover is later than usual. And also as usual we have been visited by a series of highs with lots of dry NE winds. (My favorite breeze.) I’m going to try to pull Sjogin in July next year. I’ll keep her out for her usual few weeks and relaunch in mid August, with her available for days such as these (summer boat traffic willing).
Here are a few pics from the last week or so:
August 24th, last heave to of the Summer. Went into the rigging dock after this sail and pulled the mast.
Fresh from the water. The crew at Beaton’s will wash off a long season of growth. Not too many barnacles this year.
Back in my favorite spot. I even have old man stairs. What luxury.
The Bay remains close. (Sometimes too close.). I’ll try to launch her right there.
The view of the bay from my spot in the shed. Usually a breeze either way.
Tom Beaton stopped by with news of Saturday’s final A-Cat race at Seaside Park. Raven won the season by only three points. Another Beaton built boat rules the A-Cat season.
My third visit this season; still working on the amortization of my season badge. The usually smiling Jake, Julia and Mary in there somewhere. Fine day with no Sjogin visit. Back at it tomorrow after work.
