This week was our yearly haul out at the boatyard in Buxton. Thankfully all in all things went smoothly and quickly. I hired another mate for a couple of days to compound and wax the hull and we did the topsides when we returned to the slip on Tuesday afternoon. It was a quick haul this year. We got pulled at 8:00 Monday morning and put her back in at 11:30 Tuesday. Of course we stayed until dark on Monday. We cleaned the running gear ,put on new zincs all around, painted the bottom , got the whole hull compounded and buffed out and the port side waxed before we called it quits for the day. Tuesday morning we waxed the starboard side, put the prop on, hooked up the rudder, picked her up and painted where the blocks and jack stands had been and came home. We compounded the topsides that afternoon and got half of it waxed before the rain came and we finished the rest on Wednesday. Now for some painting in the cockpit and getting the other fighting chair finished and we'll be good to go. The pics are from this week. Come and see us , The Fish Are Biting!
