USELESS. My bowthruster was stuck closed and I needed a short haulout to fix the problem. I called and made an appointment for the next day. The lady answering the phone said 10am, come early if you can. I showed up at 9:45, to 1 guy saying "we didn't know you were coming". I sat there for 30 minutes. Then it started to rain. The office told me they didn't want to work in the rain. After sitting for an hour with almost no rain, I went back to the office and was told that they had heard thunder and didn't want to work. After 2 hours it became obvious they didn't want to work. Of course, while this was all going on, an enormous gas truck came in and filled up all their tanks. So some people are willing to work. At that point I left.

Bridge is complete. No tide boards but we have a 62.5 foot mast and made it under with room to spare. Looks like low tide.

Tried to get into canal, ran aground. TWICE. Depth sounder said it was 5 feet deep when we hit soft mud bottom and were able to back out after a little effort.
