| Everybody loves a Brittany - and he loves attention |
The Coast Guard was in early this morning at the travel lift. We by passed on our morning walk and Hoolie wanted to greet them all, he’s a social dog. The boat needs bottom cleaning periodically, like all boats, and up it went.

| Notice how high the travel lift is, it’s a high step up from the water |
I wanted to see the propellers to see how they fared in southern waters but there were none! The Coast Guard boat was jet driven, no props! I guess it’s one less thing to clean. The lift here is very high and so the boat yard is high above water in case of storms but it’s a very high lift out of the water.

| Look ma! No props! |
The winds here continue unabated with gusts to 33 kts! If we hadn’t stopped here for a haulout, we would he holed up somewhere else along the line, waiting for less wind. The Sounds you traverse on the way north with a running tide would be exciting with wind against current, especially at 30+ kts! It’s been an unusual spring with all the high winds. May is supposed to be calmer but we haven’t seen that yet.
