FORGOT- PICTURES OF PULL-OUT

I forgot to post these photos of when they pulled Patriot out to repair the bow thruster.  It was quite interesting, so I wanted you all to see this:

Interesting...we pulled into the slip and slings were under us. They lifted us out of the water and moved the lift onto land so they could check and work on the bow thruster.

Luckily, we were able to lift us in and out of the water on the same day so we didn't have to spend the night in the slings.
