Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009 - Eos is hauled and sitting very comfortably on her own piece of dirt at Shumway's. They hauled her yesterday and it was more than just a simple haul out since their travel lift can certainly handle her weight but it wasn't as tall as the one at Barker's. Their buildings and doors aren't as high so their travel lift is shorter in order to move boats into the building. They started to haul her stern first and then realized after lifting her up to ground level they wouldn't be able to get the travel lift off. The arch was in the way at the stern and the mast was in the way forward. SO they put her back in, motored her out into the Genesse River and brought her in bow first so they could just take the forestays off. Because the mast is keel stepped and not deck stepped there wasn't any concern about the mast not being attached forward. They then hauled her out and very gently drove her over to the storage field and blocked her up, re rigged her and settled her in. (Continued...)
