It's come a bit early this year as we have some plastic stuck in the stern drive which needs some attention but the drive needed servicing anyway so we may as well get on with it. Hopefully pulling her our early will mean that we have plenty of time to get all of the jobs crossed off the list this year before Easter arrives heralding the start of the cruising season proper.
It's always nice to have her out of the water for a few weeks as we know that after a few weekends of hard graft she will be looking like a new boat again with her mirror finish gel coat gleaming, fresh anti foul paint and sparkly clean fenders and ropes. It will also be nice to have a fresh set of props fitted as the current set are damaged causing some bad vibrations.
We usually have Naughty-Cal ready for relaunch after a couple of weekends but this year plan to have her out for a little longer due to a couple of Saturday birthday celebrations being thrown into the mix on the 18th and 25th. These will slow us down somewhat but it wont hurt Cal to spend an extra week or two ashore. It isn't very often she gets a chance to dry out for so long. It could be even longer depending on the weather!
