How's this for a spooky photo (night time exposure of my work site)

Response to Day-6 Got the port shaft out, a little patching, looked over the strut bearings.

This was taken around 9:30 last eve when I finally decided to call it a day. I actually packed it up and started to leave, but then looked at the clock and realized I still had some significant daylight time left. I tended to some additional issues just to get them out of the way.




It was so dark, I couldn't get a photo, unless I did a time exposure. This image picks up some very strange light. We're lucky we have a place like this to play with our big toys.

As a point of information, I installed those double straps on our lift back when I had a 35' CC Sea Skiff with a fragile hull. Double strapping will handle a hull like an egg, very gently! I also installed those mechanical chain driven hoists, they're rated at 10-tons each, so you can imagine what kind of a safety factor there is! Pretty cool rig to have around when you need one.
