Exploits Out!

Single digit temperatures today and double digit wind made for a cool haul out.  For the most part everything went OK.  There was a brief moment of excitement when I discovered that the travel lift strap was around the keel.  Thankfully I noticed before the boat was too far out of the water and we were able to secure it properly.  It went on the cradle the best yet!

I rented a pressure washer to clean the bottoms, which turned out to be very popular with the Skippers of Silver Seas and Bella Rosa.  Makes short work of a potentially dirty job.  I have a few more hours of work to prep the boat for winter.  Nice to have her safely on the hard!
