Today our boat "Trout" began the journey to her new home. Since she lives on a special lift in the water of our back yard, we had to hire a crane to lift her out of the water and onto a custom made trailer for transport. All in all a nerve racking, breath holding couple of hours. I did however, document the event in pictures. So fair warning....no quilt or kitty content tonight.
If you are still with me and curious, here are my photos from today.

Now I can breathe....and we'll see her again soon when we arrive at our new home.
I'm so glad that went well....hope the rest of the move is smooth too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating ordeal and one which I have not ever seen, and loved it...looks like a beautiful boat, and I hope the trip goes well for him. Thanks for sending this to me.
ReplyDeleteIt won't be long now will it?? Who knows I may be moving again soon too...should know more in a few days.
ReplyDeleteBreath out!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful place....can't wait to see some photos of your new home....good luck with the move!
Wow, that's impressive! Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteI can see where there may have been a few nervous moments. Hope the rest of the move goes as well.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a wonderful place to me! Now get ready for the rest of the move. It's probably not going to be easy, but I think you have a pretty good inspiration - after everything is over, you will be able to enjoy your boat again. Good luck!
