After nearly four years on the hard at Six River Marine, KATIE MACK was finally ready for transport to Yankee Marina on the Royal River in Yarmouth.
Bucky Wooster and his team from DaytonMarine arrived, backed the trailer into the shed, and set to work loading her.
Bucky drove sloooowly down the middle — or over to either side — of the roads, depending on low-hanging branches or wires. Royal Road to Route 9, through the centers of North Yarmouth and Cumberland, down Tuttle Road to Rt 88. Pam drove ahead to Yankee Marina to watch KATIE MACK, with heart pounding, make her way down the hill. Finally, she was settled onto jackstands.
There was still a lot of work to be done — we were at the yard until 10:30 before spending our last night on the dirt for a while.
Scott and Chip jokingly tell us that KATIE MACK left the building twice: once on Bucky’s trailer, and the rest of her in this dumpster.
