Back On Her Feet and Onto the Trailer

We turned the boat back over and held the Unflippin' Party yesterday evening (August 8).  This job turned out to be much harder than expected, compared to turning it over the other way.  Here are some photos that tell the story:

That thing looks heavy.  Can we do this?

Maybe we can roll it over here--the driveway's pretty steep though.

Well, maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.

Back down she goes.

On the way out to the street where it's level and there's more room to maneuver.

Set her down easy.

Half-way over.

And she's almost upright at last.

Keel is on the trailer!

Just about there.

And she's on--huge sigh of relief!

Back in the garage.

I decided to put the boat on the trailer now so I can move it around to work on it.  She's awfully high though.

Time to party!

The party went great (I thought so anyway).  Sorry we didn't get pictures of everybody.  And thanks once again for all your help.  I hope to get the boat on the water by late September or early October--everyone is invited to the christening--I'll let you know when.
