Our boat, Sea Lady, had been stored at Marina Seca since we pulled out of the water in spring of 2007. We visited her once in fall of 2008 to check on the batteries. So it has been 3 1/2 years that we have done any work on her or had her in the water. Thus we spent 3 1/2 weeks working on her in the work yard while we stayed in our vintage mini RV. The major issue was that all of our batteries died and had to be replaced -- all 8 of them. This required a wait because it was over Thanksgiving weekend and a trip to Phoenix, and many boat dollars.
