On the hard

We left the Saint Mary's River Friday and headed to Solomons Island where September Song was hauled on Monday morning and put on the hard.
It was a long four days with the four of us living at the Super 8 motel. We spent our days at the boat yard while the yard guys worked on September Song and our nights in the motel room. (about the size of our pilot house)
The yard got her done in record time and she is happy, looking beautiful and happy to be back in the water, and we are happy to be back home again.
Friday afternoon we got a pleasant surprise. Stephen and Pam on Tides In got here a couple of days early and the four of us will be here until Monday when we will cast off the lines and continue our dream, (No, not the one where I'm in church naked) and the fearless foursome plus 2 will explore the Chesapeake, including a trip up the Potomac to Washington DC.

It always makes us nervous when they lift 47 tons of September Song out of the water and put her on the hard. Please don't drop our baby!


Getting her bottom pressure washed. She loves being pampered.


While we were at Washburns, a boat that burned last weekend was hauled out. They towed it in with pumps in it to keep it floating. No one was on board when she burned. Scary!

It was hot out, but the guys still need to wear protective suits.
