Friday Funny 05-14/2021 (Peace Out, or Paint Out!)

 

The harbor office said that they were all booked for moving vessels into the water on Friday, so we thought we would be in the yard over the weekend, and splash on Monday. Turns out, while we were having our coffee, and reading emails Friday morning, they decided we had 20 minutes to get ready, and they would splash us now! Scramble drill! Put stuff away, prepare the boat for underway mode, get all the tools, ladders, paint, and buckets out from underneath the boat, and toss it into the truck bed. And just like that, we're back in our slip in Heritage Harbor. 

Arriving our slip.

While we were in the yard, they moved this beautiful old wooden boat in to be restored. 

Notice the size of the Pirate's Pride, and the size of Denali Rose, they had to use the large lift for this one.

We did manage to get at least 2 coats of bottom paint on all around [and 5 at the waterline, rudder and skeg, prop area, and all leading edges...] The Alaska Airlines air freight paint arrived on Tuesday, the UPS replacement paint from Jamestown Distributors arrived on Thursday, and the USPS paint from Fisheries has arrived on Saturday. We are all painted out.

We shouldn't see this view of Denali Rose for another 4-5 years again.

As always, we enjoy hearing from you, either here in comments or on our Facebook Denali Rose Sailboat page.
