I pulled Pura Vida out with the Travel Lift at Manitowoc Marina to replace zincs and inspect the running gear after almost 4,000 miles of looping. The bottom was in great shape, all gear tight and straight. Gotta love a Hatteras and dependable GPS’s! Manitowoc Marina has been great to me and ive enjoyed staying here!
old zinc did its job, compared to the new one! Still a few barnicles on the hull from the salt water earlier this year. Going to have my friends at Dog River Marina in Mobile, AL do a fresh bottom job when I get back.
