Point Bay Marina Haul Out: November 2, 2012

PBM, Charlotte, Vermont

Marc- Lucy III is hi and dry for the winter months in a crowd of boats.  Stephanie and I came up to complete the engine winterization and some other winter storage boat chores.  Friday was also the day of the PBM annual customer appreciation party at the "Old Lantern" in Charlotte.  It amazes me on the great turnout they have at this event. Its success may have something to do with free food and drink along with gift prizes.  We did not win anything but some friends did.  We stayed overnight at John and Mindy's house.  Saturday morning we were all up early to work on our boats.  Pictured below is John and Mindy's boat

Coquina.  Why did they get so much room?

Part one of the centerboard repair project is done.  We took the centerboard out, thanks to Roger for use of his grinder to access that nasty pin buried in fiberglass.  The steel core of the centerboard has become rusty and needs a rebuild this winter.  I will be surprised if we can get this back in the keel before the winter cold sets in.  The Vermont Peaks are already covered in snow.
