Ready or not ... as the wind has dropped 'Emma' is about to be relaunched by the marina's boat lift ...
After that ladder is removed, of course.

Manoeuvring the boatlift ... nearly as impressive of the multi-wheel road trailers for moving abnormal loads.

Yes, It WILL fit, you put Emma here so you can pick her up again.
[note - the nearer pair of wheels are independently steerable]

Just a couple of minor nudges to the line up ... whilst someone goes aboard to double check that everything is secure for the lift, and then removes the ladder.

Having hooked up the strops, the operator is currently checking that everyone is clear before doing a short lift.
see next image for why ...

The wooden props are now all on the ground, and we can do the last patches of anti-fouling ...
Oh, should add that the noises they made as they hit the hard ground was quite tuneful and caused a smile or two.

[1 of 2] Various tracks from twiddles of the boat hoist [one pair of wheels can be steered independently] - plus Ben's been in a puddle, hence the paw-prints.

[2 of 2] Various tracks from twiddles of the boat hoist [one pair of wheels can be steered independently] - plus the drips as the slings have just been pressure washed after the previous launch.

Setting off for the dock - the anti-foul that has just been added is almost dry.

Heading for the launching dock.
[the puddle is from the previous boat, she was lifted out to have her bottom scrubbed - pressure- washed & brushed - then immediately relaunched, actually it took them very little time but got a lot of water on the hard ...]

Boatlift trundling out onto the launching dock ... watched by the owners.
yuck, that water looks 'orrible !

Now fully afloat on Queen's Dock and about to be brought up to the ladder for boarding.
The iron oxide staining on the harbour walls is very noticeable as it has been exposed by the outgoing tide dropping the water level.

Emma approached her berth [1 of 3] as viewed from the hammerhead pontoon.
Ben is watching "his boat" come back ... he wasn't impressed when he walked down the pontoon and Emma wasn't there, having seen her launched a few minutes earlier.

Note the water in West Strand is relatively clear of the orange muck today.

Emma approached her berth [1 of 3] and just beginning the final turn, the white object to the left is a ranging pole as her high bows make sighting the pontoon less than easy.
