Today we are installing 4x4 treated beams along the sidewalls of the travelift slip which will then be covered with fire hose so as to provide maximum protection for vessels entering or leaving our travel slip. 


Board Inserts Ready
Installing Protection in the travelift slip

Lots of cruising vessels are heading down the river  systems  headed for  all points south.  We will be doing all manner of service work to them,  but mostly, we will be perfecting their refrigeration, engine, autopilot and other cruising systems so that they may reach their destination safely.  Some  of this eclectic collection of cruising yachts are headed  to  far  flung ports in the pacific (through the canal) or far down into the Caribbean.
