Wanderlust was out of the water for a final hull inspection and cleaning and a new anchor chain. Short haul, as I understand it, means the work as such can be done while the boat is left on the trailer - it was just a couple hours and she 'splashed' back in the water. Kinda of big deal as it's the clearest indication to date that the departure for French Polynesia draws closer, with our crew expected to arrive this week.
Wanderlust sits in queue at the Marsden Cove Marina boat ramp, awaiting her turn for haul out.
Th crew from the boat yard lines up the trailer with Wanderlust's hull.
The trailer is safely maneuvered under Wanderlust, and she is securely strapped on.
Wanderlust is out of the water and headed to the marina boat yard which requires stopping traffic to cross the main road.
Now parked in the boat yard, Wanderlust begins to get her hull power washed.
The old anchor chain has been removed. Walt watches as the new chain is installed.
Wanderlust 'splashes' back into the water ready to return to her assigned slip.
