Hey all! Tim here.
So little story and it will help you understand why this is so momentous. I bought my first s/v at the end of last summer. I had a... errr.... power boat up until that point.
Anyway, I picked the sailboat up and sailed it to the marina where I planned to moor it this summer. I spoke to them and arranged to have them pull it and lay it up for the winter. Problem was, I picked the s/v up in September and had no where to keep it moored.
So, the new marina had to pull it for me before any other boats were out of the water. Not a problem at the time.
Now however, I am the first boat that was put in the long, narrow boat yard. As such, it will be THE LAST boat they can physically put in!
Well, tomorrow is D-Day. At 10am I will be meeting them at the marina and in I will go!
Wish me luck!
