In August Sea Cloud got hauled out --- luckily I was housesitting so didn't have to live on it "on the hard." Here are some photos before and after. I made videos of her being taken out of the water which was pretty interesting - they just kind of look at the boat and then put a big sling on it --- I thought it must be nerve wracking work since these guys are pulling out boats left and right which are thousands and thousands of dollars. You'd think there is a lot of room for error but they take them in and out of the water like nothing and David said he hadn't heard of them ever making big mistakes. I helped sand!

Pressure washing: The bottom was covered with barnacles and tunicates:
