Sad Day....Time To Haul Hull !

It's always a sad day when it's time to haul the boat out for the year. This year however I hardly had the time to use it with the new job. Sometimes working seven days a week, it was tough to schedule time on the boat. Perhaps next season now that I know the commercial fishing patterns I'll find the time to use it more often. But I was rewarded during the short hop over to the boat ramp with an amazing sky!
Once I got her home it was time to powerwash the bottom....in the dark!

The boat looks lonely at the dock.

Here's a homemade pilot house. My last post I caught her going through the harbor.

At the ramp....I didn't even notice the colors of the trees when I took this!

Hauled out.

From One Day To Another !

Boy can the weather here make a turn around. This is when boats get hauled out for the season,raking leaves and getting the snow blower ready for winter. I just reminded myself to take the air conditioner out of the window!

You Just Never Know......

From fog to sunshine, you never know what the weather will bring this time of year. Last week we had 50 degree temps and this week into the 60's. And you never know what you'll see around the area too!

A touching moment on the docks! What else did you expect me to write?
