Fugue in position for lifting

After arriving in Rockport, we settled in and checked with the boat yard. Since we had a few days we rested and did some grocery shopping and laundry. This was our day to get started! We had the boat hauled (had to go in backwards to accommodate rigging) and they pressure washed and scraped it. Of course since they do that on the travel lift, that leaves the part covered by the straps still covered by barnacles. We spent the rest of the day scraping off barnacles and started to remove the "pearls" - those circles left at the base of the barnacles. Let me tell you, those are not easy to get off! We still have plenty left for tomorrow!
