Buccaneer to bed.

Buccaneer has been put to bed again. She comes off her mooring in october. I take her to the quay to empty all the heavy dive gear out and put her standing legs on. I then run her ashore. This year she was put ashore near the mermaid pub. Here, when the tide goes out, she rests on her standing legs awaiting the lorry to take her off the beach. She is then taken through the town on the flat bed and over the other side of the island to the field where she is put to bed for the winter. I run the engine out with fresh water; put fuel treatment into her tanks; remover her batteries and jack her up level so that the rain water drains out her scuppers. I then jet wash the hull down to remove the sea slime built up over summer and there she'll rest on her keel drying out until next March. :(
