Week One of our 2010 Annual Haul Out. I thought I would share this haul out so you could see how these massive stout boats are built and maintained. Gregg and Martin removed all the planks that were on the replacement log, cleaned the area and started cutting the new 3″ planks. The planks were cut, placed and fastened. The hull painting crew, Josh, Jeff, Crystal, Diane and Joni gathered supplies, built the stairs and scaffolding and have already sanded out the hull and have her primed. Neal is recovering from surgery but stops by to lend his expertise and support :) . Diane has a good start on the seemingly miles of paint and varnish to be applied to the deck house. Keith and Mike are bringing the engine and mechanical out of the winter state and into readiness. The Sea Wolf is lucky to have such a dedicated crew.
