First night at The Spit. Note the beginning of the lumpy water.

The forest trail on Sidney Island. Almost looks like Fall with all the leaves on the ground.

OMG! I can't believe my engine's not working.

Getting ready for the bottom painting!

T2 is lifted clear of the water with enough muscles and marine life for a fine Bouillabaisse..

High and dry. T2 sitting on the hard.

The original holding tank. It's empty (courtesy of the poo sucker), but it's pretty stained after nearly 50 years.

All new lines to the toilet.

New holding tank in place with sanitation hosing attached.

Mechanics Doug and Pang have a look at the shaft.

Just look at that beautiful new propellor shaft! Wow.

Manuevering her into place for the big drop!

After three weeks on the hard, a sight for sore eyes.

Driving Diver Darryll to T2.

This might be my rudder.

Propeller shaft

Propeller with what looks like dog poop hanging in the current.

I'm not exactly sure what this is, but it's growing on my boat.

Same keel, minutes later!

Just look at how smooth and 'clean shaven' that rudder is! It's like the James Bond of rudders.

The prop. Looks the same as it did last time Trouper 2 came out of the water. Three years ago.

Water intake. All through hull fittings were cleaned.

Shaft, cutlass bearing, and new zincs.

Mooring inspection found significant wear and corrosion on 3/4" chain.

Getting a little thin apparently.

Darryll says I've lost a strand from my Blue Steel poly line.
