My faithful boat tent has been in hibernation since we moved. I had always planned on resurrecting it once it was time to paint the boat; unfortunately, initial fairing on the cabin sides has convinced me that fairing the whole boat would destroy our nice garage with dust and whatnot (not to mention primer spraying). So I decided it was time to set it up again:
If you look closely at the picture above, you can see where I brought in several yards of new gravel (from Cadman) to level out that part of the "driveway". I don't think it was perfectly level, but good enough. Then I started setting up the tent again - overall it turned out great, no loss of parts from the move and I got it up with about a day's worth of work. Here's a view from inside the garage:
My son helped me maneuver the boat out of the garage and into the tent; here it is starting to emerge:
Here's a sight not often seen in the middle of a Pacific NW forest:
Another view:
I laid down some cheap OSB boards to make a "floor" in the tent; here's the boat after it was inside:
In other news, my outboard motor mount did not work out so well - not enough room for the motor to pivot all the way up. So much for measure twice, epoxy once. Now I get to saw it off and start over. Will post some pictures on that fairly soon.
