A boat needs to be hauled out every 1-2 years for the hull to be painted, so we researched the process, bargained hard for our paint, and headed over to La Cruz Shipyard for the 4 day process. Allora would be lifted out of the water for the first time since she splashed in Oakland in early June, 2015.
We woke up at 3:00am and knew within 10 minutes that we needed help and that it was probably a kidney stone (Marcus’ first and hopefully last). Not an easy feat to find a cab in a sleepy Mexican village in the middle of the night. Once secured, we bumped and raced along jerkily and the poor young driver had to listen to Marcus’ endless loop of F-word wailing.
