A different kind of anchorage

This is not your usual experience to be standing on board of a boat and be pulled out of water by one very strong machine that looks a little like a cradle. A bit of an uncertain feeling and it all went well.All a new experience for me and a bit of a "nerve wracking" one for Robert. This man doesn't get concerned easily I would add. The plan was to apply anti-foul coating which will protect the boat and fit new trough hole fittings to protect us. During this process we continue to live on board with couple of differences. One we need to go to outside bathroom and the other, instead being rocked to sleep by the water movement we got severely attacked by humongous mosquitoes and midges(tiny little black "killers").One bite from one of those is guaranteed to last at least a 3 weeks, lets just say = to 10 mosquitoes. Result is that we both look like we had a bad bout of chicken pox and need a good electric sander to scratch!!!The most fantastic news "Michelle"our auto-pilot is happy and working and we fixed her. How great is that!Below are a few pictures of our life and process here while the work is continuing.
