The boat is on the hard at Fort Pierce and we are now back at home, we hauled the boat at Riverside Marina and hopefully it will remain safe during the upcoming hurricane season- we have our fingers crossed. The boat will be strapped down to large cement blocks to stabilize it so that should be a big help. There are lots of other boats being stored here for the season with a large percentage of them being Canadian so we are in good company. Last fall we applied" Mar Pro Gold" bottom paint to the boat and as you can see from the picture it has stood up very well after six months of being in the water, we didn't have it pressure washed but just gave it a light wipe with a cloth, hopefully we will get another season or two out of it before repainting, the water in the Bahamas is very clean so I'm sure that helped.
