Summer Life

Happy Spring everyone!  Here is an up date of our "summer life" you will see that we have been keeping busy since we got home.

Last week we had Puffin, our boat, lifted out of the water and set up on the 'hard' to do the annual maintenance.








 First step, move Puffin onto the sling.
Lift out of the water, then onto the special area in the yard for the power wash, where all paint, debris (barnacles, muscles, etc) all are collected and disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.

Now the work begins!
Deb's job is always the hardest - painting the bottom!
John gets to fiddle with the prop, and change the zincs.
See the reflection!  It took a lot of elbow grease to get that shine. Yes, another of Deb's jobs.
Please don't drop her.......ah, back into the water just fine!  Now that's done for another year. . . . . Of course in our spare time we have been busy working at home and in the garden.
So beautiful at this time of year!

  1. Nice boat. Forget the RV. Why not sail it to Baja.
