A Cold Voyage to the Napa River Marina for haulout



 
Chillin' on a cold and drizzly day
The intrepid Chris Smith, at the helm
A following breeze put us in the Napa River nice and early
The trip only took 7 1/2 hours
We used the trailer for hauling out
Out she comes
Talk about a dirty bottom
Sitting on the hard
The bottom needs some love
Hi-tech boat stands
The port ama has been stripped down and has a new barrier coat
Topside paint going on
And now the bottom paint (back to green)
Ready to launch. What a difference
Back on the water, having fun
Chris and Mason during the very cold trip home (boat was covered in ice that morning)
Scott wants to know why we aren't home yet
Headwinds all the way home made for a long trip
The crew celebrates our triumphant return to Emeryville
I want to once again thank Jeff for all his help
