We arrived at the marina and the weather was less than perfect so had to wait a few hours until they were ready
to pull the boat. I drove the boat into the cell with the slings in place to lift us out of the water. The boat was raised out of the water via the travel lift and moved to a work area to wash the bottom and finish the winterizing of the engines. I had a few other areas of the boat checked in preparation of the cruise next year and everything has checked out ok.The boat is now winterized and hanging in the travel lift as we drove away. It was a bitter sweet moment but time to close the season out and return home. We had a few hours to relax so we drove into Burlington, VT to see some of the sights before having dinner with the Grimm’s then staying overnight with Debbie at the “farm”. This extra time was all that was needed to see the Ti
conderoga, a steam powered side wheeler that has been moved to land to preserve her for all to see. What a grand old lady she is!
