Haul Out at Cabrales Boat Yard in Puerto Penasco, Mexico! By: Lucy

 For the hurricane season, we took our boat out of the water so that we could make some repairs for it, and we could leave it to go on our road trip. 

The day before we hualed out we anchored just minutes away. We were able to get the sails down and fold them up. The next morning we went to the dock and we topped off our fuel. We then went towards the other dock where we were getting hauled out in. We got tied up and everything, and it was a bit stressfull, but it was good. We started getting raised up, and our boat was out of the water and we were just floating there. Fenton, Heidi, Sally, and I all got off, but it became to far for Willie to jump, so Mom and Dad stayed. 

They drove our boat in the slings to the yard. It was boiling hot out that day! The boat got all set up.

The next couple of days it was also really hot! Sally had her birthday and we had a strawberry orange cake, which was good!  She dyed her hair with dye she got for her b-day. Dad left later that day to go get the car for our road trip.

The next few days we cleaned up the boat a bunch and got ready to leave it for the season. We cleaned the lines, clean our lockers, cleaning all the walls with bleach, took out all of our cans and other things that could explode, and among other things, we packed up things to bring on our summer road trip. It was busy and really hot when we were here at first, but we got a lot done!
