Found out last night after work that we would have to either pull the boat today or pull it in two weeks and risk not getting out of the yard before July 1st. Needless to say we chose to haul out today. This turned into a much bigger ordeal than I had imagined. We were to be at the yard by 2pm; little did we know that they had to pick up a tugboat, set it on a barge and move the barge out of the way so we could get in. That took about an hour and a half. During this time I was in the yard and Dave and his brother Matt were out in the channel waiting to come in. They also had to move the crane into place.
