Haul Out - Dartside Quay
08/09/06 07:58 Filed in: UK
Early start to be at Galmpton for haul out at 07:30. The Dart harbour patrol are just starting work as I leave and seem concerned that I am off trying to avoid payment. Their launch catches up and is satisfied with my explanation.
With a flooding tide the trip up river to Galmpton is quite fast and the yard crew are waiting on the dock.
As the boat is lifted I get a close look at the Roompot damage. Not too bad really. The indent is about fist sized but has not penetrated the full GRP depth.
Inspecting the stripper rope cutting gear on the stern shaft it looks very much as though the main engine shaft has moved about 1" aft. No apparent damage and nothing appears to be missing from the stripper other than the clips we removed in Denmark.
