So Inclined Hauled Out Today
20 June 2011 | On the hard, Marina Seca, San Carlos
Well I've been working hard most of the week stripping the boat down, cleaning and stowing things, getting her ready to truck home. Today she was hauled out of the water using the hydraulic trailer (that's how they do it here). Dave and Carra (and Anne), Taking Flight, gave me a hand. Once out of the water the tractor pushes the trailer with boat on it down the road to Marina Seca yard. Quite a thing to see--especially making the left turn in front of oncoming car traffic.
So Inclined is now positioned beneath the crane and will have the mast pulled tomorrow.
I've checked into a hotel--airconditioned!!!!!!!!-- and with an ocean view so it is quite a treat. (better than staying on the boat where it will surely get over 100F down below).
Howard and Lynn, Swift Current just pulled in today. Going to try and catch up with them and Taking Flight for dinner. Time to relax a little.....
