Haul Out

Getting cradle ready. The wooden cradle is chained to a steel car moved with a cable.
Empty cradle on its way into the water.
Boat floating into submerged cradle
Cable hauls cradled boat up ramp
All the way out
Traveling down the line to the siding.
People-power pushes cradle off the rail car into the siding. The sidings are 6"x6" wooden rails covered with beef fat to make the boat slide into its spot.
View from the deck.
