Grey Wolf, sparkling white with the new paint job Bill did this
summer, moves across the north end of the harbor at Puerto
Penasco on her way to be pulled out for bottom painting...
The haul out here is primitive compared to using a Travel Lift as
we have done before. She will be hauled out on a rail and lifted
just far enough into the boat yard for painting- the first time they
tried, the equipment broke. After a welding job, they got her out!
Here is Grey Wolf in dry dock. You get a good idea of the size of
the boat with the workers standing nearby. Bill put in a new through
hole to install a piece of equipment, while two workers prepped and
painted the bottom~ all done at last! Bill had to do some touchup
work right at the water line once back in our slip... This paint job
should last longer in the cool waters of the Pacific Northwest, where
we are headed next year!
