The Mabel Rose was hauled out on a hydraulic trailer thus morning at Marsden Cove. I spent the morning repairing the tack of the drifter. After lunch, when we finally got a ladder to the boat so I could get my tools, I disassembled the MaxProp folding prop to reduce the pitch. That took all afternoon.

We are supposed to relaunch Wednesday morning. I hired a contractor to sand and paint the bottom. But nobody worked on the bottom job today even though it was the first clear and rain free day in a week. Robin gives it a one in five chance we actually launch Wednesday.
