Overhaul by onewing

Overhaul

After our U3A breakfast yesterday in Nelson Bay, we went for a walk along the waterfront and marina. I spotted this boat bring brought in for an overhaul. It was really interesting watching it being loaded onto the sling and brought in to the boatyard.

A message for Annie here, @annied I will start posting my rock pool photos on Saturday. Friday people day tomorrow and then I may get chance to go through the rock pool photos tomorrow.

We have got a lot going in here at the moment, so I may get a bit behind with commenting and replying to comments. Hopefully things will quieten down soon.
never a problem Babs - it all catches up eventually lol - I am looking after a kooka atm

Nice clear photos Babs. I sailed for years and can assure you it is a nerve wracking procedure.

Oh great find.

A great shot - I guess the owners would have their hearts in their mouths!
October 1st, 2015  
Fantastic capture of this process.
October 1st, 2015  
@annied Yes I just saw it.

@jeneurell @sioux @dide @shirleybankfarm I guess they did breathe a sigh of relief when it was in the boatyard.
You can see them still on the boat here if you look closely. They got off when it was moved to the wharf. They sat very still while this process was going on. You wouldn't want to tip the scales, ha ha.

It's always a bit nerve racking until the boat is safely in place. Fascinating to watch and a great capture of it here.

Great shot, great to watch...
October 1st, 2015  
This looks tricky to do, and interesting to watch.
October 1st, 2015  
I particularly like the reflections.
October 1st, 2015  
Very cool!
October 1st, 2015  
very interesting pics Babs. I'm surprised they stayed on the boat
October 1st, 2015  
Really interesting shots Babs. Must have been fascinating to watch.
October 1st, 2015  
I've seen our nephews boat being put in and out of the water like this. It's a bit scary if it's your boat! Good shots!
October 1st, 2015  
Excellent collage, Babs. It's so cool to see it lifted up.
October 1st, 2015  
Great shots, composition
October 1st, 2015  
Hang in there...this is really a fascinating pair of images. Lots to look at and compare to get a sense of the process.
October 1st, 2015  
Interesting pair of captures, nicely put together.
October 1st, 2015  
You never quieten down Babs!! Always on the go even with broken arm! Good thing too, keep on moving that's the answer! Quite complex machinery to load these boats......must cost a bob or two to keep the boats sea worthy!
October 1st, 2015  
Great collage, it must be a nail biting procedure!
October 1st, 2015  
It must be a rather nerve wracking time for the owners and crew of the vessel.
October 1st, 2015  
Very interesting and well captured.
October 1st, 2015  
How fun to come across that
October 1st, 2015  
Well spotted, it looks so well controlled when they bring them up that way
October 1st, 2015  
Wonderful shots Babs.
October 1st, 2015  
Patricia looks a very nice boat and that's quite an impressive contraption.
October 1st, 2015  
Love the colours and the framing of the boats.
October 1st, 2015  
Now that is a serious looking lifting mechanism Babs.
October 1st, 2015  
Interesting find Babs
October 2nd, 2015  
Great shots to show the transformation!
October 2nd, 2015  
Interesting shot. I like the reflection on the second one.
October 2nd, 2015  
wonder who thought this contraption up? someone very clever I think. excellent collage
October 2nd, 2015  
Great capture of these boats and the lifting of them. I like how you did your collage.
October 2nd, 2015  
Very cool capture - that would have been neat to see!
October 2nd, 2015  
What an interesting diptych Babs, thanks for sharing.
October 2nd, 2015  
That's a neat thing to see! Thanks for sharing!
October 2nd, 2015  
Thanks for sharing.

Got to go round the house putting the clocks forward one hour now as we go onto summertime here in Australia.
I was surprised that the owners of this boat stayed on while it was being moved.

@happypat Thanks Pat, you are right, it takes a lot to slow me down.
It is definitely an expensive hobby. Some of the boats in this marina are huge and the cost of just buying the boat would make your eyes water.
