For everyone that thinks this is all fun and games here you go. We went to the Boatyard the end of last week to do some yearly maintenance which is always fun, NOT.  It involves running the boat to the yard, hauling the boat, washing and scraping the bottom then getting blocked up. Step 2 is cleaning all the running gear and getting all of the zincs off, popping the wheel off to make sure the shaft isn't cracked then cleaning the entire hull. Step 3 is doing all of the taping along the water line and getting the bottom painted,2 1/2 Gallons at $300.00 a gallon. Yep, you read it right. Then if everything else checks out O.K. we can get the wheel back on, zincs on, coat the shaft, struts and rudder with the zinc coating and let it all dry for a day. Then we pick her up the next day(on a quick haul usually 3 days after we got there) paint the bottom where the blocks were, let her dry for a bit then put her in the water to come home. These things are alot of work.and this is just what goes on under the water line. Topside work is next which is even more time consuming but not as dirty.  We're all ready to go and shes running good so come on down and see us. The wahoo fishing is off the hook this fall and the big blackfin tunas are starting to show already. There are still some Dolphin here as well.
