We knew it was close when the traveler lift started sneaking up on Latitudes.
And Latitudes will be in the air as soon as the stands are removed, ready for her short ride back to the water. Those granite blocks behind her are at the water's edge.
SPLASH! She is gently lowered back into the water. The lift operator waits while we check for any leaks, make sure the engine starts, etc, etc.
Everything checked out ok and we motored to the Rockland Municipal Landing to empty the antifreeze from the fresh water tanks, rinse them, and fill them. Plus we gave Latitudes a MUCH needed good washing! She looks soooo much better now. After that 4 hour little chore, we motored 1/2 mile to a sheltered anchorage in the Rockland harbor.
Luke was happy.
Smoke was happy. This is why we always put out 3 chairs....
High winds (small craft warning) plus heavy rain will keep us here a couple of days. It's ok, because we are finally back in the water.
