Farewell to summer fun!!!
Sail boats with fixed keels have to be hoisted out of the water.
It is an all day process that is actually quite interesting to watch.
they lift the boat up out of the water, set it on a cradle and move it my tractor to it's storage resting place for the winter.
We have a water ballast boat with a swing keel so the only thing we had to do is bring the boat to the ramp and load it onto our trailer, batten down everything and drive it home for storage.
This is Jack & Dave bringing our boat up to the ramp.
This is a picture of our rudder after 5 months of setting in the lake water. The darker areas are Zebra Muscles..... They are nasty little animals that have invaded the Great Lakes...Luckily we didn't have to many to deal with.
Kyla made a lot of new friends threw sailing, The experience we feel has really stretched her in a positive way. One thing we learned this year was that if we gave her jobs to do it kept her mind off her fears relating to sailing, each year she gets more confident...we all do...
This is Kenny...He let me pilot his 36 ft sail boat this summer....What a thrill.!!!!!
Problem is....NOW I WANT A BIGGER BOAT.....LOL...WE NEED $$$$ FIRST...LOL
Kenny was one of Kyla's Favorites at the yacht club.
This is Linda, Her and her husband John were just SO good to kyla too!!!!
This is Jan, and Mary in the back ground....
Dave & Michell were also on her favorites list!!!
Some of her other friends were, Trish & Larry, Bruce & Sue, Bruce & Patty, and Bruce & Mary!!!
thanks to all for helping making our summer a great !
