High and Dry

Shaken not stirred. 

This is the third haul out in 8 months. Remember the Seven P's.? Prior Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance? Apparently something I didn't learn too well. 

Actually this haul out was planned as part of our continuing refit. As an added benefit we are relatively immune to these:

Not to mention we get to safely leave the boat and travel to the great north where our tribe is from. 

Inside of a locked canal we don't have to fret storm surges or freak tsunamis from collapsing island calderas. 

Boat is much more roomy minus the salon table. 

Crazy man disassembling our mast 50 feet aloft. I watched as he harnessed up the bosun chair with what looked like yarn. No thanks. It was para cord but still. 

When we get our mast back in two months it'll be brandy new. 

Got a new dinghy!  It's a 13 foot Caribe with a 20 Honda 4-stroke. We will promptly sell the Honda. 

 

Look closely and you can see a Florida gator. Not exactly threatening but fun to see.
