XYZ ...Stands for Zombies.....VeryTired Sailors at the End of the Day!

Everything you do is harder on a sailboat. Mr. Johnston's tune up was a challenge. It was easier at Abaco Yacht Services when we could tie up to a dock.
The cleaning is never ending. Every locker is cleaned and every item on board is desalted.
Spice Island Marine Services, Grenada....Celebrian's new summer home.
Up she comes in the travel lift.
Once the boat is out of the water they transfer it to a trailer that moves it to your spot. This means they can store boats very close together. It is also part of their hurricane strategy.
Once you are in your spot they put supports under the hull along with chain. The added thing that they do here is anchor the boats from four directions. The next picture shows one of the straps. Since we are so small we were placed in an area where we may get moved a few times when other boats launch.
