Yet another tough day at the office
Last night’s evening charter. Not only was it glorious evening for viewing the spectacular scenery in the evening light but we also saw whales, bears, sea lions, seals, eagles and various types of sea birds.
New “Insides”
Not only did the engine room get a complete refit over the course of the last two winters but the Raincoast Maiden also has new “insides”: New carpet in the salon and cockpit, the salon furniture was reupholstered, chairs & bar stools refinished, we have a new table top, even a new fridge to keep the champagne nicely CHILLED!!
Floating Office

We’ve just completed our annual haul out which entails cleaning, polishing & waxing the hull (which seems HUGE at times like this), painting below the water line, changing zincs, checking the props and shafts, Transport Canada hull inspection, and any other work below the waterline.

Together Again!
After being torn apart and weeks of work, the starboard engine is back in one piece and looking prettier than ever with its brand new hoses and fresh coat of paint! Best of all, it started right away. It is a relief to know that Al did know what he was doing after all….
In Pieces …..
We do all we can to prevent in-season break downs. However this year`s winter project is a little more extensive than just regular preventative maintenance. Last year Al did a complete overhaul of the port side of the engine room, this year he is doing the starboard side. Let`s just hope he knows how to […]
