Cracker Boys Boat Yard


Well, the Ways boat yard didn't work. They said they would lift the boat off the semi at 6:30 AM on Thursday but no one came to work until nearly 9 AM. We were so disgusted that we strapped everything down again and went to Cracker Boys boat yard.
The Cracker Boys are on the ball. They had Summer Snow off in no time. We put it on blocks and stands and I began getting it ready to sail. Due to the heat, things that I thought would take an hour takes 3 or 4 hours instead. So two days work turn into four but now I'm ready for a Monday launch.

Wainting for Summer Snow

I talked with Nate this afternoon and he said that he would be to The Ways Boat Yard about 4 or 5 PM. The plan was to unload this morning and because I remember my old truck driving days, I know how hard it is to predict delivery times. We will need high tide to launch the boat so I hope tomorrow morning will be launch day.
I have walked all over the area (blisters on both feet) and am at two showers per day but I have observed all the places I want to be and that will help when I am ready to anchor/moor for the next few weeks. I have also checked out some very nice marinas.
