Threading the needle

Turning the corner into the driveway; I was really worried that the road and the culvert under the ditch on the near side were too narrow to make the turn. There's not much space on the water side; it goes straight down for thirty feet to salt water.

But it made it....

Driving onto the lawn to line up with the bay of the shop building

And backing into the shed at an angle, since the dog pen was in the way.

First try into the shed.

The second try's a charm. On the far right you can see a platform where the owl sits of an evening. Little regurgitations from time to time. Hope he likes boats.

JUST RIGHT!

Now to support the boat with jackstands so that the trailer can be pulled out from under. The timbers for the keel are set, and the two front jackstands are reaching over the trailer to support the bow.





The trailer's driven out from under and the front jackstands are being positioned. Once that's done, they will support the boat while the rear ones are moved so that they're closer and more vertical. The driver was thorough and meticulous; adjusting the jackstands until everything was just right.

Just as it starts to rain, the long and nerve-racking day is over. Thanks to Associated and the driver for a job well done.
