Boat Moving

Just back from an epic weekend of boat moving. We (Dad and I) moved the hull from the Busselton industrial area to Dad's back shed.

After picking up the car trailer we went to the shed in the industrial area with a couple of engine hoists and lots of rope and straps. The trailer couldn't be backed into the shed so we had to push the trailer in by hand, lift the boat onto it, and move the trailer and boat outside by hand and jack. Not in any way an easy job.
With the boat hitched up we made a careful and furtive trip through the back streets of Busselton (trying to avoid any imperial entanglements) to Dad's house. We parked outside and went in for lunch. Three hours gone already. Dude.
Before we let ourselves collapse we got stuck into the move into the back shed.
Careful reversing.

Careful lifting.
Careful placement.
All done. 7 hours of huge effort. No injuries to us and only slight damage to the shed (look closely at the top beam of the roof truss - bummer). Not a bad day's work.
Hopefully we'll get more done now that the boat is only a few steps away from Dad's back door (it's still 240km away from me in Perth but I can psych Dad up over the phone).
