Hauled Out!

Full Moon hangs in the slings, freshly out of her native element.
The old bottom paint was worn through from all the scrubbing over the years.

New electronics are coming soon!
Full Moon was hauled out this morning at the Canal Boatyard for the first time in... a lot of years. She will receive two coats of bottom paint (applied with rollers, unfortunately) plus a spiffy new depth and speed transducer ("smart sensor") for a new Furuno FI-504 display. Since the old instruments are vintage 1978, they don't work reliably and it will be nice to know how fast (or slow) we're really going, not to mention having more than a vague idea of the depth!
