Shawnee on the hard

Drew has spent a week, fixing, cleaning up, designing how to fix things and upgrading, and hauling.  Shawnee is at the age now where things need to be replaced to keep her in good shape.  She was built in 1999.  Whiticar will do a good job.

Here are pictures of the dinghy coming up out of the water onto Shawnee's deck.

 Hauling Tweety up with the halyard after the outboard was pulled up onto the rail.

Deflating and lying on the bow.

Tying Tweety up straight against the mast.

He took all the canvas off for repair.  Naked Shawnee.  I always like the look of boats with no lifelines, hardward or canvas - just the boat itself.  But then the practicalities are the blazing sun, safety, and comfort that wins out.

Shawnee gets hauled out awaiting work at Whiticar.  Without the canvas the radar, wind generator, solar panels, outboard engine hanging on the rail, fold down ladder, the arch to hold a lot of the equipment is so visible.  I wonder what a toll the sun will take on the teak.  Tweety must be lying on the bow or off the boat.

Drew comes home at midnight Thursday to the cuddly, 4 cute puppies, and I'm sure will rest.
I'm reading  A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles - excellent.  Just finished Hidden Figures after seeing the excellent movie - but I must say the movie was better than the book unless you want to know the total history of NASA and NACA.
