Hell Out - Haul out


Now the fun begin.
Obviously, Hauling a boat, you need to be ready for surprises.

Everything is packed and in order.
The boat has not been like that for weeks.

Get Ready ... 1.. 2 ... 3... 

Hop. In the air. 15000 pounds !

Surprise, I thought the Keel was stuck down. It was stuck Up.
The good news : after 30 min of forcing it, it is unblocked, and looking great.
Beginner mistake, you need to keep tension in the line. 
Ok, Now I know.

Now, the bad.

Originally, I wanted to fix this ... the Packing gland.

And the ugly.

Well, Houston, we have a problem.
We dont like pink at all on Bronze.
Basically, it is dead.

Well, I don't have a firm estimate yet, but that doesn't sound good.
To replace this, we are talking about serious investment in time and money.
You have no idea of the number of parts we need to remove to make this happen.
And in the process, the number of rabbit holes we will be drilling.
**sic**
