Good bye to the infamous door....and see you next year!
Our work in progress.....

And.....it's OFF!

After several attempts planning this special day, we finally removed the shrink wrap!  It was showing much of its wear and tear from the weather.  We took great pleasure in removing the wood door frame at the end!  Getting the door open with a strong west wind was always a challenge because it pushed the boat up against the finger and our steps with a hand rail was in the way.  We were able to get off the boat with a door partially open, but it became annoying.  After we got the shrink wrap off, we had to add the bimini top back on immediately to beat the rain showers.  It was not an easy chore getting the pieces back together.  We told ourselves that we would never get them off again.  :)  Our perseverance led us back to the views we missed all winter long!
