Another moving experience today. We helped friend and neighbor Sam move his boat (used to be our boat) over to his house here in Bayview. He has been working on widening his driveway so he could back it in and still get to the rest of his stuff. Sam hooked up the boat and moved it out of the way and then we had to find a way to move the stairway that Sam and Neil built to easily get in and out of the boat.

We got the stairs loaded into Neil's pickup and took it all over to Sam's to unload and set up. While the stairs are a hassle to move, they are so much better than a ladder to get in and out of the boat. They have been one of the more useful things we did for the boat.

Neil helped Sam unload the stairwell and then they moved all the crab and shrimp pots and some other miscellaneous stuff. We think it was Neil's Dad who told him that "Just like a woman, in a boat the rigging costs as much as the hull". If he didn't tell him, he should have!
Neil also helped Sam with a project at his place, so all in all it was a productive day.

So now there is a big hole at the back of the house where the boat has been parked for the past four years. The boat partnership worked out great, and we hope that Sam gets many more years of enjoyment from the boat. We may even come up and visit in the future and go for a boat ride with him.

All in all, it was a good Fall day, and we are off to dinner and a play. Thanks for visiting,
