Sad Day -- Haul Out

 

Yep, it was inevitable...mid-October means haul-out here in the Midwest. Fortunately, it all went well today. Tomorrow (or Thursday, perhaps) I strip the boat and close her up. Why is it, though, that haul-out in the fall and launch in the spring cause so much stress?

I've been lucky to live in places where I don't have to do a winter haulout. But for what it's worth, I move ever couple years, so I not only have to pull, I have to pack, prep for shipping, find a hauler and a new marina. So I feel your pain, just not every year!
Where do you live that you have to pull?

The end is coming for most of us on the Chesapeake soon as well.
I try to hold out until mid November. There are usually some nice Indian Summer days with no one else out there.
The yard shuts down on December 1 anyway, so we have to take a little break.

South end of Lake Michigan...contrary to popular belief, it's not the mill pond Ted Turner once called it when he was getting ready to sail the Chicago to Mackinac race. ?

The lake in the winter can be spectacularly beautiful, when it is packed with shelf ice. ?The pressure ridges can push up to 30 feet or so, so it has the?appearance?of a glacier. ?Every winter, people die walking on the shelf ice, because it is laced with crevasses, which they fall through.
