Sorry to anyone looking for more current things happening around the bay. I had a motorcycle accident and have been recovering from many broken bones. On my first visit to my orthopedic doctor (a fellow boater) told me to have her hauled out as I was done for the season. The Harley is still sitting in the driveway where my neighbor placed it for me.
I did take a trip to pick up the boat and bring her home where I could work on things during the winter. Having your boat hauled out early does have benefits. When I called and explained my problem and I was incapacitated and not capable of climbing onboard and securing anything. I arrived and the bottom was spotless, not one barnacle left. At the end of the season the quickly job is obvious. Everything onboard was tied down leaving little to do besides hook up and drive away.
The Keyport area was pretty active with the ramp parking lot just about full. The pier is open now for a couple months and there are many putting it to use. I would usually stop and talk to people, but I wasn't suppose to be driving, I was on pain meds, and if anything happen the wife would have disowned me.
I am hoping to make my off season trips as usual and enjoy the bay life. Repairs still go on from
Sandy and we will investigate those and post.
At least we leave on a good note.
