| Al took care of paperwork, and the crew arrives. |
 |
| Three years worth of slime and crusties to be massaged off to see if they are hiding any problems. |
 |
| The captain is always anxious during this process. |
 |
| This new lift is run by remote control! |
 |
| She's excited! She even swings back and forth in the sling as she stops over the 'bath' drain. |
 |
| One.... |
 |
| ...two... |
 |
| ...THREE scrapers scraping! |
 |
| Can you hear her sighing 'Aaaaaahhhhhhhh'? |
 |
| It makes a BIG difference. |
 |
| Rounding the corner as she is driven to her assigned spot. |
 |
| Prepping the blocks she will rest on for several days. She let out a groan as she settled down. |
 |
| It's a bit more difficult to get onto the boat when she's out of the water. |
 |
| Ready for the work to begin! |
We pick up Michael at the bus station, and Troy and I set out with the rental car for Hillsboro. I have brought the camera with me, but I've been so busy with grandkids and friend visits that I have only taken a couple of shots. I ALMOST regret taking the camera with me, and I DO regret that there aren't photos of the work done over the next 5 days. There was a VERY hot weekend where work was done early in the morning, stopped mid-day, and Al and Michael did what they could to escape the heat.
She's back in the water on schedule, and Al and Michael are cruising the Sound. I hear she looks great!
