November at Ryan's Marine Services

This is the view of Bridgeport Harbor from Ryan's marine services. The photo was taken around 3:30 PM EST. We are so far north and east that the winter months have short day light. The swan family still glides past the boat yard in search of food and shelter. The juveniles are as big as the adults now, although their coloring is different.







Here is Cornucopia on the hard view from the Bow. Bob placed the blue plastic tarp over the pilot house to protect the canvas and prevent leaking from the holes where he removed the windshield wipers -- another repair/replace item on the list.














Joe Ryan's aging crane stands waiting for the next boat to be hauled. I just couldn't believe it could lift the 6,500 lb Finnsailor out of the water.














Cornucopia on the hard, viewed from the stern. The swim ladder hangs from the lifeline because it's a great place to put it to keep it out of the way when not in use. Come to think of it, we have never used it since she already has a built in ladder on the stern.








Bridgeport Harbor as view from beneath Cornucopia's stern while she rests on the stands in the boat storage area. Bridgeport is just beginning a harbor renovation which will include revitalizing the entire area into a recreational boating haven.










Bob considers the million items on his repair/replace list. I have the fun job. I get to make pictures.
