River Forest Yachting Center

We left LaBelle, went through the Ortona Lock, and went to River Forest Yachting Center. We were scheduled to be hauled out today to have the bottom power washed, sanded, and painted, and have new zincs put on the transom, shaft and thrusters. Last night when pulling into the dock at LaBelle something hit the rear thruster and broke one blade on each side. Now we'll have two new blades installed in the rear thruster.

All went well with the haul out. It's always exciting to see the boat come up out of the water. The marina said we should be back in the water by Friday. 

Nice and calm on the water today. A big difference from yesterday
