We pull right at the yacht club with a crane...Torr4esen's Marine comes over
with a crane, 3 high-lo's and 2 trailer/tractor combos and it's like a giant
chain reaction....everyone is divided into teams...we were on the cradle
team....had to locate the cradle up next in the queue and point it out to
the hi=lo guy who then loaded it into a waiting trailer...then the crew
positions and the trailer takes off for the staging area to be loaded with a
boat...then there's a crew on the wall where they lift out and a crew on the
adjacent dock...you back up into the area with your boat and throw lines off
4 corners...the crane drops the slings down and they position the slings and
voila! up and out and onto the trailer....then they take you to your parking
place and the power washer crew comes and blasts all the grunge and mussels
off the bottom...the rule is that if you don't work, they don't pull your
boat.
