The Launch

Thursday, May 5th Brady went up to Larson Marine to be there for Further's launch. Nadine, unfortunately was busy at school as usual, and wasn't able to be there for the big event. She was very bummed. Brady finished up some wiring and cleaning in the morning and a little after noon the boat lift driver showed up and started clearing a path to Further (we were the third boat deep in the yard).

Further squeezing through the boats that were around her.

On the move!

It was pretty stressful to watch even though they do it all the time. They brought her over to the launch area and one of the guys commented that it was the best he'd seen the boat look in years. (Further as Reverie has been at Larsen Marine on and off for 20+ years.)

Further on the boat forklift. 

The travel-lift then drove completely over Further and hooked the straps up under her.

One thing that surprised us that the dock workers sometimes leave boats in the straps overnight.

After lowering her into the water, the dock workers hopped on and made sure that she wasn't leaking anywhere and then tugged her to a temporary slip where she stayed until Saturday when we brought her down to Montrose Harbor.

Lowering Further into the water. The dock workers at Larsen Marine did a great job and were very helpful. We are very thankful for all of their help!

She looks happy to finally be back in the water!
