Salty Abandon #16 - Bottom Paint Haulout for my Island Packet 27 Sailboat, Aug 16, 2016

Want to support the podcast? http://patreon.com/SaltyAbandon I'm on sail restriction due to recent surgery so I decided to knock out getting new bottom paint for my Island Packet 27, Salty Abandon. The boat doesn't NEED an immediate bottom paint job but I DID need to have someone put eyeballs on the blisters. Plus, this paint will be an upgrade to the current paint. Decided to leave the blisters AS IS for now. My friend, Sam Whitt, delivered the boat for me to Barber Marina from Bear Point Marina in Orange Beach (thank you, Sam!). This video is of the haulout. They will also address: replace autopilot wheel drive, check an issue with the AC (has to be primed each time after taking the boat out), fix a leak in the shower, look into fixing the Richie compass, and a few other suggested fixes from the from the survey. Getting ready for my sail to the Bahamas in Nov 2016!
