In April, we hired a Marine Diesel Mechanic. To learn more about David Capron-Johnston, visit our “Crew” page. Please call us with your mechanical needs!
We’ve been lucky to have Alex Waldron with us this summer! We are sad to see him leaving today; but happy he is pursuing his Bachelors Degree. A student of Western University, Alex is studying Plastics Engineering and is a member of their sail team. He grew up on Orcas Island where he discovered his passion for sailing and even restored his own 13’ Laser Sailboat.
Alex’s main responsibilities have included bottom painting and zincing; however he has many other talents and interests as well. Alex is comfortable working with fiberglass and also has knowledge in mechanics.
Although the ground hog said spring was on the way, and despite the blooming daffodils next to the shop, we have snow today! So instead of hauling boats like we had planned we are shoveling driveways, walkways and stairs today.
Interested in beating the Spring rush and saving a few dollars on your annual boat maintenance? Be sure to grab the San Juan Journal on Wednesday February 9th and clip out our ad. If you bring that ad with you and schedule a haul out to take place between February 9th – March 4th, 2011 you will receive 10% your haul out, pressure washing and blocking fee. We hope to see you soon!
Mother Nature always has the last word! To remind us of her awesome power, the strong winds that blew through on November 22, 2010 shook the yard up a bit. In addition to some clean up on land we have already taken care of, repairs to the boat houses/docks are underway this week.
Thank you to all of you that were able to attend our 100th Anniversary Party on September 18, 2010. It was great to be surrounded by so many supportive customers, friends and family. Here are some photos from the big day.
