Hanna rolled through overnight and into the morning today. Dropping 4+ inches of rain. The winds peaked in the low 20s, so only some small sticks and leaves where blown down. All in all a pretty mild storm. I'm hoping to get back out and work on the boat later today , as things dry out, and certainly tomorrow.
The Overton shipment arrived on time and the merchandise is of good quality for the prices paid. Overall, I would use them again. They are power boat focused, so for us sailors, you'll only find the general boating and trailer stuff.
Next weekend, I hope to be able to move the boat off the trailer and into the garage. I plan to stack up bags of mulch to make a cradle of sorts to support the boat while I work on the cockpit floor and the trailer repairs. I have seen folks use sand bags for this purpose, but since I will need the mulch for landscaping later this fall, why not use them.
I will write more tomorrow. (I'm having trouble linking my Google Docs to this blog, so please forgive the broken links for now).

Thanks for the note. Progress is slow. Now that I have the skin of the floor pull up and the rotten wood core out, it is now a matter of time for the remaining wood to dry, and then I can relay the remaining core, and replace the glass skin and paint. It will be spring before she's in the water again.
