And those nice men have cleaned and antifouled her bottom along with a new cutlass bearing on the stb engine shaft various "sea cocks and pipes and other bits. Tomorrow she gets a full hull polish prior to re-launch, if the weather is suitable (gales are forcast with mucho rain ) :o((
Finally a temporary spot is found for her.
Then its up on the hoist and away for a ride.
My what a weedy bottom!
Just peeping her nose over the parapit .
Waiting patiently to be lifted out ( well not so patiently actually, as the lift was organised for 10.00 and took place at 14.00 :o(( )

Nice boat, but where's the mast? ;-)
Looking great, Orb!
Hi OE I sailed for more than 25 years until I felt that I needed some sort of transport that my wife could enjoy (Just) well cope with anyway and I eventually arrived here. I can just about put up with it, and would stil prefer sail but have to make do with the odd delivery ( sail )which keeps me in touch.
Hi Fuffy :o))! I`m looking forward to our eventual meet.
Given that Brighton marina is ( I believe) the largest marina in europe? It has the most inefficient and disorganised haul out facility ever. As for the high tech "Pit props" used to support my vessel along with old as 45 gallon oil drums, I think that really just about says it all. :o((
I was going to say something about those pit props, but you beat me to it. LOL

Hi Bill good to hear from you thanks for passing by! they are pretty "Neanderthal" aren`t they? I have just "parked" my boat the other way around and as I am expecting to hear a splash, when I leave the boat by the wrong side :o)) you know how it goes, take care.
Hi again Bill! I spent some time in Sandusky Ohio a few years back, at Cedar Point, as part of my "Theme park journey"
Great boat Rob! Thanks for posting pictures too! :)

Hi "H" Thanks for your visit. I am slowly getting the hang of the photo thingy, who knows I might be as good as everyone else :o(( maybe one day :o))
Thanks Tana! I like her! there are a couple of mods that I would like to do to her, the first is to fit a permanent roof/deck to the canvas extension, with safety rails around (keeping the sunbrella sidings) so I can store a dingy on the deck above, I have top speak with the manufacturers about overturning moments etc.:o((
Nobody wants to be comment 13 do they! :o))Sure I deleted my photo, I didn`t want to frighten too many people off :o((.
Nice boat!
HIc.

Hi Mmmmmm! Thanks for the visit it`s been a while, life looks good for you, take care.:o))
