The end of the sailing season is near, that is! Zach and I drove down to pull the boat on Saturday. As usual, it took several hours. The part that really sucked was the constant rain. By the time we were done the boat and I were both pretty much soaked through.
Pulling the boat out went pretty well, got it on the trailer on the first try. I did have to leave Zach and the boat at the transient dock while I ran to Jerry's to buy a new come-a-long. Forgot to grab the one in the shed and there's no way to pull the boat all the way forward on the trailer without it.
Dropping the mast went really well, for a change. Nothing hung up and nothing broke. I did almost slip and fall twice though; the deck was really wet!
Got the boat home in the afternoon and left it parked overnight. Did some clean up on Sunday. Next up is Sail for the Cure in Portland next weekend, then the season really is over.
