Well the day here at the haul out staging was interesting. I could not get off the boat since the boat was a couple of feet lower than the dock. Mr Long Legs Jim got off a couple of times but then had to have me pull the boat over so he could climb down the dock and stretch over to the boat. A very interesting day of more storing and cleaning.

About 4:30 Gabriel and his workers came with the travel lift and turned us about so we could lift out backwards. Jim's got it all planned out so that next year he doesn't have to back the boat out of the dock! Smart man!

Now Jim helped hold the boat until the slings were on and I got to stay in the boat for the ride. I'm not too crazy about this ride. A boat swaying like a swing up in the air is not my idea of fun! But no worries! Gabriel's crew is fabulous and we were all set on our supports in no time.

I thought that having to climb a ladder tied to the rail would make me really ill (didn't like the stairs at Ventura Boat Yard) but it's actually ok. Maybe it's time for me to go up the mast? Maybe next year.....

Our last GPS coordinates of the season. So sad.
