In the past when we put the boat away for the winter season, it would be, put it in the hangar and we lock it up and walk away, to be back to work on it at our leisure.
This year, because we are storing outdoors, I can't leave anything on board that might freeze. So I have gone through the boat and checked every cupboard, looking for any liquids or cans etc., that was Wednesday and Thursday.
It rained Friday and Saturday and some of the helpers didn't show up on Sunday. So Now it's Monday and we are finally pulling the boat. As you can see, they not only needed and extra truck to help pull the old girl up the ramp, but they had to add two extra trucks.
With that extra engine power they got her up the ramp.
Dan also has extra chores in that the boat has to be winterized. Not only the engine, but the plumbing and water system. Then it has to be tarped down to protect it from the weather. But that's later, we're just glad she is out of the water and "on the hard" as they say.
THE REST WILL BE DONE AT OUR LEISURE
